Description
The joyful anticipation of the Messiah's coming is artfully expressed through this charming anthem for younger children.

Beginning handbell or handchime ringers will enjoy playing the simple bell part that adds an extra sparkle to this lilting anthem in 6/8 meter. Sound file: ms. 1-39, second ending
