The Bible shares with us three songs concerning the birth of Christ. The first is the "Magnificat" sung by Mary after the angel reveals to her that she will give birth to the Messiah. The second is the Song of Zechariah (The Benedictus) sung by him when he names his son John. And the third is the Prophecy of Simeon (The Nunc Dimittis) sung by Simeon when Jesus is brought to the Temple for the first time.
This sermon covers The Song of Zechariah.
