Christ's birth signifies the coming of the Christ-Light, presented here as an optional candlelight processional. Introduced first by soloist, the second verse follows in two-parts then building to full choir on the final stanza before tapering off with a brief a cappella chorus, "O Come to my heart, Lord Jesus; there is room in my heart for You!" (From the cantata "A Child Is Born" SATB - 65/1983M; SAB - 65/1984M). |
