December 10



Still thinking about those dogs:

In Bethlehem, so long ago
On a night so dark and deep
The shepherd's dogs were all awake
While the town dogs lay asleep.

An angel of the Lord came down
And the dogs all raised a howl.
They roused the shepherds lying there
Asleep upon the ground.
The world in silent stillness lay.
The dogs stood watch by night and day.
To guard the lamb they asked no pay
Just a touch of the master's hand.
