I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. --Psalm 121, King James Version Psalm 121, from the canonical Book of Psalms, is one of fifteen psalms (meaning sacred song or hymn) included in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134). These powerful texts about hope and perseverance were likely chanted by Jewish pilgrims as they traversed the ascending road into Jerusalem, which sits atop a hill known as Mount Zion. Thousands of years later, the words of Psalm 121 continue to uplift and inspire those afflicted with pain, grief, or suffering; one need only look to the hills. .“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

Many scripture passages foretell the coming of the Messiah, with perhaps the most well-known being the angel comforting the frightened shepherds on the hillside saying, “And this shall be a sign unto you...” This musical depiction recalls seven of those signs in a unique re-telling of the Christmas story, beginning with the prophecies of Isaiah through the blessing from Simeon in Luke, each providing a signpost for the arrival of the Christ Child. With familiar carols interspersed among the very melodic and stylistically diverse music of Larry Shackley, “And This Shall Be a Sign” will have a strong appeal for the congregations of both the traditional and blended worship service. And with both SATB and SAB editions being available (along with reproducible part-dominant CDs for each voicing), churches of virtually any size will be able to successfully present this work in a meaningful and uplifting way.
