After an introductory brass fanfare this setting opens with a bold declaration of the Christmas message from the poem's first stanza which serves as a refrain throughout the work: "Cease to mourn for Christ is born / Peace and joy to all men bringing!" The tenors and basses then assume a narrator role setting a picturesque wintry scene. At the third verse the chorus and brass quintet reunite to deliver the happy Christmas message.
