Seekers of the Light—Lloyd Larson & Mark
Hayes. The world was lost in darkness. Roman
oppression weighed heavily, and God's people were
awaiting a Messiah. There were astrologers, literally
following the light of the heavens and prophecies of
the coming Messiah. But there were other "seekers
of the Light": Mary and Joseph, simple shepherds
in a field, and the prophets. Then, it happened: the
Light of the World was born. Follow the respective
journeys of these "seekers of the light" to learn what
we can from their sojourns. May we likewise seek
and find The Light for our journey... and transform
our lives with a fresh touch of God's miraculous
grace and gift of love. Songs include: Prelude; Sing
We Now of Christmas; Prepare!; Come Near to the
Manger; Angels Shout the News Tonight; Hurry to
Bethlehem!; Seekers of the Light and Behold! Rise
Up! Go Tell! Shine! 30 minutes.

LARGE PRINT
EDITIONS
Traditional octavos can be difficult
for some choir members to read, so
Pepper created large-print editions to
make things easier for your singers.
Printed on 9" x 12" paper, this music is
significantly larger but retains the same
pagination, measure numbers and
page turns so no one gets lost. These
editions are only available through J.W.
Pepper and are a must-have for church
and community choirs!
