Description
SATB choir and organ. A setting of John 1:1-2, 4-5. The lesson comes up after Christmas, but what a wonderful piece for Christmas Eve communion! Mysterious, atmospheric, and effective. And, may we add, just lovely!

Lyrics
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
In him was life, and that light was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not overcome it.
