Teaching Angels

Rude and forbidding
         is the earthly surrounding.
Angels wondered at His plan
         to redeem the fallen man.
How would the people of God
         receive the Son of God?

The light of prophecy is shown,
         the angels have made it known.
With amazement the heavenly messengers beheld
         the glad tidings that God's people withheld.
Their interest is deeper and more tender,
         while learning what God's grace can render.
