This is an easy country western style Christmas carol with soprano and baritone solo and a backup SATB choir. This would be great, not only for church choir use at Christmas, but also as a "knockout" Christmas concert piece for school and civic chorus programs. The song begins: "In Bethlehem town on a cold winter's night, Mary the Virgin, gave birth to the Light. And when she beheld her Son's tiny face, Mary, his mother, cried out filled with grace: 'Jesus, my Savior is born. God's little Boy is come among us. Oh hark! How the Heavenly angels sing.'"
