The story contrasts the humble little village of Bethlehem with the glory and greatness of Jesus Christ, who was born there. The refrain focuses on the wonderful appearance of the host of angels, and how that was a fitting celebration for the birthday of the King. This arrangement by Sandy McIntire in the key of G major is for early intermediate violin with a piano accompaniment and is appropriate for Christmas worship, programs and recitals. This package also contains a solo sheet for the violin.
