The Message of Christmas for flutes, clarinet, guitar and bass

Description

Instrumental version of my 1975 evangelical song “The Message of Christmas”.

The words of the original are:

Hear the message of Christmas time
Today is born the King of Kings
With glory hidden in a stable
For poor and humble are most able
To see in him the King of Kings

Hear the message of Christmas time
Today is born the Son of Man
With human flesh and pain and woe
Like one of us so we might know
That Jesus is the Son of Man

Hear the message of Christmas time
Today is born the Son of God
Who from his Father up above
came down to give us peace and love
Then sinless died the Son of God

Hear the message of Christmas time
Today is born the Word of God
To human flesh the Word became
Yet was and is and will be the same
For evermore the Word of God

Hear the message of Christmas time
Today is born the Light of Truth
Without it we are lost and stray from goodness
For Christ is the way, the only way
The Light of Truth

Hear the message of Christmas time
Today was born the King of Kings
And glory shone from that poor stable
So poor and humble are most able
To see in him the King of Kings.

(c) David W Solomons 1975
