For Soprano solo and SATB chorus, unaccompanied. Commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria, Michael Gormley, Director, I sing the birth is a gentle setting of words by Ben Jonson (1572-1637). "I sing the birth, was borne tonight, The author both of life and light; The angels so did sound it, And, like the ravished shepherds said, Who saw the light, and were afraid, Yet searched, and true they found it."
