Glory to God by Beatrice W Sutherland — Lyrics
1. Low in a humble manger
Jesus, the ChristChild lay,
Watched by the virgin mother
There on the fragrant hay;
Keeping her loving vigil
Far from the worldly throngs,
When thro' the night came ringing
Glorious angel songs.
Refrain:
"Glory to God," the angels sing,
Praises to Christ, the heav'nly King;

About Glory to God
This stirring Christmas anthem for SATB choir recounts the Nativity story, focusing on the angelic announcement of Christ's birth. Set to an English text, the music would be fitting for any Christmas service. The lyrics contrast the humble setting of the manger with the glorious message of the angels, and later reflect on the profound significance of the Christ-Child's life and sacrifice. The composer, Beatrice W Sutherland, provides a piece that calls for expressive singing, allowing the choir to convey the wonder and joy of the season.
