Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

While shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down and glory shone around and glory shone around
Fear not said he for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind
Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind to you and all mankind
To you in David's town this day is born of David's line
The Saviour who is Christ the Lord and this shall be the sign and this shall be the sign
The heavenly babe you there shall find to human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands and in a manger laid and in a manger laid
All glory be to God on high and to the earth be peace
Good will henceforth from heaven to men begin and never cease begin and never cease
