I Prelude
Orchestra
II Recitative and Chorus
There were shepherds at night in that same country abiding in the fields, and silently keeping their watch by night over the sleeping flocks around them, and lo!
an angel of the Lord appeared, standing there beside them: and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid at his coming. And unto them the
angel said: Fear not, oh ye shepherds for behold I bring unto you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born today a Savior, Christ, the Lord, in
the city of David. And this shall the sign be: ye shall find the babe, wrapp’d in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger low. And suddenly there was with the angel a great multitude
of the heavenly host praising God and saying: glory be unto God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill to all men.

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. God, the Lord of light, He has shined
upon us. Thou alone my God art. And all my trust is in thee. Oh Lord! Thou art my God
and I will exalt thee and praise thy name.
Lauren Nevarez, soprano; Antonio Charles, baritone

Wherefore do the heathen clamor? Why do the nations imagine vain and foolish things?
Glory unto the Father, and unto the Son, and Holy Spirit!
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.
