This is a Michael Herry song from “God of Surprises” for Christmas. It has a neat harmony line and sounds lot of fun.
The sheet music can be downloaded for free at Marist Music, where you can hear their version of the song. The harmony line is Alleluia sung over the first and third lines, with the second and fourth lines having the same words as the melody line. In Herry’s version it kicks in on the third time round.
Tidings of great joy! A Saviour has come,
Jesus Christ the light of the world.
Tidings of great joy! A Saviour has come,
Welcome to the Word of God.
