PSALM FOR CHRISTMAS YEAR B

"Psalm for Christmas Year B" is a bright, festive setting of Psalm 98, composed by Michael C. Egbo for the Christmas liturgy. The text captures the sheer joy of the Nativity, declaring that "all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God." It serves as a triumphant response to the readings on Christmas Day, inviting the whole congregation to recognize the immense gift of the newborn King.

In the choir loft and at the ambo, this piece shines through its clear, joyful proclamation. The cantor leads the verses, calling the assembly to "sing a new song to the Lord" and to break forth into joyous praise with harps and trumpets. The choir and congregation then unite in the resounding refrain. It is a fitting piece for the Christmas season, lifting the hearts of the faithful and filling the church with the glad tidings of Christ's birth.
