Angels and Shepherds

The highest of the high

And the lowest of the low

Glorious in the sky

And broken here below

Beneath all of the heavens

Above all of the earth

Both wonder now in worship at

His inexpressable worth.

Both passion and compassion

Intermingled here in One

Here are the purest gifts of all

Compounded in Godís Son.

Precious purity undefiled

They come to praise the Miracle child.

Declarations of praise

Is all they can know.

Highest of the high

And lowest of the lowÖ

Stunned into silence

Stunned into exaltation

They see the holy evidence

And respond in celebrationÖ

The highest of the high

And the lowest of the low

Glorious in the sky

And broken here below

Beneath all of the heavens

Above all of the earth

Both wonder now in worship at

His inexpressable worth.
