"Canticle of St. Augustine"
As Bishop of Hippo between 396 A.D. and his death, St. Augustine delivered some of the most beautiful Christmas sermons ever written; and the text of this work comes directly from one of those sermons. For Augustine the most inportant aspect of Christmas was not the manger scene but rather the central mystery of faith - the glorious paradox of the Incarnation, as recorded in the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Him...And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-3,14)
Canticle of St. Augustine (catalog # JG0683 Gentry Publications, www.FredBock.com) is available for purchase from your favorite music retailer.
