This fantasy is the last of a set of 4 Christmas fantasies, 0p. 104, written by Max Gulbins (1862 - 1932), a prolific German romantic composer, who produces an important body of organ works ranging from large scale sonates to character pieces and choral fantasies.
This piece uses the "Tochter Zion", a well-known German advent hymn, based of one of Händels choruse of Judas Maccabäus.
