Don't let the simple, lullaby-like nature of the musical setting fool you: the richness of this Christmastime text gives this beautiful and prayerful assembly song real staying power. Rooted in how we experience the love of God in our modern world, the song reflects on Christ's humble human birth through the lens of his eventual Passion and death and looks forward to the final salvation of the Second Coming. It is scored for SAB choir with piano and guitar accompaniment and instrumental parts for flute and cello.
