Sing, O Sing, This Blessed Morn

Christopher Wordworth's joyful Christmas anthem not only recalls the Nativity story, but also echoes statements of beliefs about the nature and work of Jesus Christ in phrases such as: "God from God, and Light from Light" "God himself comes down from heav'n" "One with us in human birth" "God with us ... deigns forever now to dwell" "born for us that we born again in him may be" "with thy Spirit may [we] be ... with the Father and with thee" This medium-easy setting of "Sing, O Sing, This Blessed Morn" for SATB voices and organ is mostly unison, with SATB on the first half of stanzas 3 and 5, and on the concluding "alleluias."
