A simple, beautiful, Celtic sounding original melody is combined with a fresh and stirring text written by Susan Dengler. This tender "folk" song calls the listener to look beyond the cradle to the cross. Shines the Light is a timeless piece and is appropriate for all times of the year as Christ, the "Light," is laid in a manger, walks among us, and is hung on the cross. Scored for SAB voices, this sensitive and meaningful anthem is accessible to choirs of any size. A thoughtful choice for Epiphany or Christmas communion observances, all who hear will be taken by its sheer beauty.
