This is a warm, solemn, and beautiful rendition of the Christmas story of the Shepherds hearing the announcement of Christ’s birth. The piece slowly builds to the words “Gory to God in the highest,” and then grows into a climactic “Alleluia” section.

Text (by Michael Sandvik)

What is this that plays upon my ear?
It sounds like the music of the Lord.
I hear the sound of angels and heaven.
It is the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard.

Alleluia.

Hark, the angel voices.
The newborn King is come.
The Christ Child?
The newborn King is come.
In Bethlehem?
The newborn King is come
and Jesus is His name.

Sing Glory to God in the highest,
and peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

Alleluia.

Sing Glory to God in the highest,
and peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

-to God alone all glory is given-
