Dartmouth by Stephen Jenks — Lyrics
Behold, the grace appears!
The promise is fulfilled;
Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears,
And Jesus is the child.
The Lord, the highest God,
Calls him his only Son;

About Dartmouth
Stephen Jenks composed Dartmouth as a sacred anthem for SATB choir. The English text expresses the joy and wonder of the Nativity, proclaiming the fulfillment of divine promise with the birth of Jesus. It reflects on his divine parentage, his role as the Son of God, and the prophecy of his eternal reign over the house of Jacob, bringing salvation to all nations. The anthem's structure likely supports the unfolding of this theological narrative through the combined voices of the choir, creating a devotional musical setting for the text.
