SATB with piano

humblest_cap

This SATB piece is especially appropriate for Christmas, but may be used at other times of the year.  The song speaks with reverence of the birth, ministry, and atonement of the Savior.  Though this song is scored with majestic piano interludes, it may also be performed a capella as a hymn.  It was written as a part of the 2010 Christmas cantata Come and Behold Him. This standalone version contains different measure numbering from the original cantata score.
