Christmas anthem for mixed chorus (SATB) and piano.
Lyrics joyously tell of four manifestations of Jesus Christ's light: the light that came into the world with the birth of the Savior, the light of the new star signaling Christ's birth to the distant Nephites, the light of truth when God the Father and His Son appeared to Joseph Smith, and the light of the millennial reign when Christ comes again.
Darkest night was pierced with light
When angels sang to shepherds lowly;
Swaddled stranger in a manger,
'Twas the promised Christ Child Holy.
