Orchestral
overture,
strings
swelling
with
regal
elegance) (
Pipe
organ
sustains
a
majestic
chord)
Beyond
the
veil
of
silent
night
the
stars
begin
to
glow
A
humble
manger
waits
in
light
while
winter
breezes
blow
The
shepherds
leave
their
weary
fields
to
see
the
promised
sign
As
heaven's
majesty
reveals
a
glory
so
divine
Jesus
Christ
is
born
today,
the
heralds
cry
aloud
Let
every
heart
prepare
the
way
and
lift
away
the
cloud
With
voices
raised
in
harmony,
let
earth
and
sky
resound
For
in
this
holy
infancy,
true
light
and
peace
are
found
The
prophets
spoke
of
ancient
days
and
waited
for
the
dawn
Now
light
descends
in
golden
rays
where
hope
is
newly
born
The
choir
of
angels
fills
the
air
with
music
pure
and
bright
Dispelling
every
shadow
there
with
everlasting
light
Jesus
Christ
is
born
today,
the
heralds
cry
aloud
Let
every
heart
prepare
the
way
and
lift
away
the
cloud
With
voices
raised
in
harmony,
let
earth
and
sky
resound
For
in
this
holy
infancy,
true
light
and
peace
are
found
Oh,
come
let
us
adore
Him,
the
King
of
all
the
earth
Oh,
come
let
us
adore
Him,
the
King
of
all
the
earth
Let
nations
bow
before
Him,
and
celebrate
His
birth
The
organ
thunders
praise
again,
the
violins
take
flight
In
this
cathedral
grand
and
main,
we
celebrate
the
light
So
let
the
anthem
rise
on
high
from
every
gathered
soul
Beneath
the
vast
and
watchful
sky
where
gentle
currents
roll
This
is
the
season
of
the
heart,
the
promise
kept
and
true
That
joy
shall
nevermore
depart,
and
make
the
world
anew

Born

Reflected
on

Amen,

clear
