By Chris Machen and Robert Sterling Arranged and Orchestrated by Robert Sterling
This powerful song has become a Christmas standard in many contemporary choral libraries. Opening with a male solo (or, for more impact, a male trio) searching in the darkness of sin, the choir bolsters the solo (or trio) for a triumphant ending. Robert Sterling's substantial talents as an arranger and orchestrator shine in his setting of this now classic Machen/Sterling collaboration.
