ADVENT IS HERE! Day 11 ANGELS SINGING

Angels singing songs of praises, In the dead of night. Shepherds out in lonely places, Wonder at the sight. Told to go and seek a baby, They obey and find the Light. Rich, wise men are looking skywards, See a sparkling gem. Follow as it leads them westwards And to Bethlehem. There they find within a cowshed One whose greatness humbles them. How I wish that like the shepherds I could angels see; Or that star, that God sent wise men, He would send to me. O to see that little baby There, at his nativity. Truth is, God to every person Sends a heavenly ray, Which would lead them all to Jesus In the self-same way. They’d discover God’s best treasure In that manger wrapped in hay. HPW © God bless you all, HOWARD WEBBER Bournemouth, UK I was inspired by Edwin George Monks hymn 'Angel voices ever singing...' It fits the tune. Here is a link to the hymn (see The Choir of Norwich Cathedral video below) so that you will get to know the tune or recognise it when you hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOf3ATIJw18 2.
