Lay Vicars from the Choir of Westminster Abbey sing the hymn 'A Great and Mighty Wonder', celebrating the gift and majesty of Jesus Christ's birth at Christmas. The text is translated from the work of Greek hymn-writer St Germanus I (634-734), and is sung to the tune Es Ist Ein Ros, which is frequently sung with the text 'Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming'.

Sung by:
William Balkwill and Julian Stocker, tenors
