THE PROMISED CHILD

"The Promised Child" is a bright and joyful Christmas carol that calls the faithful to celebrate the birth of the Saviour. With its straightforward message and uplifting melody, it captures the excitement of the Nativity, inviting the choir and congregation alike to "shout for joy" because the Prince of Peace has arrived.

The verses walk singers through the familiar, beloved details of the Christmas story—from the city of David in Bethlehem to the fulfillment of the prophets' words in Emmanuel. The final verse echoes the song of the angels, singing "Glory to God in the highest," making it a fitting and festive piece for Christmas morning Mass or a parish carol service.
