I 1st heard this song when I was a teenager in the 1960's. I joined the Ann Carmichael Memorial Presbyterian Church choir located in Bensalem PA, just over the border of far northeast Philadelphia. One lady with a fantastic smooth voice in the choir did it as a solo. It left an impression! Unfortunately, that church later moved from Bible preaching to a social/ liberation theology and finally closed in 1988. Thankfully the Presbytery (owns all the buildings) sold the building at a discount to a Bible preaching Assemblies of God church called the Philadelphia Christian Center that a few years later built a new sanctuary in the front that is double the size of the original one. It's not my church so I sometimes listen to their sermons on-line and do visit when they have special hymn sing evening services.

We are singing this at church on Sunday in Mauriceville, TX. I've never heard of this song until a couple weeks ago.

[@odilondasilvarocha]

there are many "records" for this great tune...Gordon MacRae, Steve Green, Steve Amerson, pianist DINO (fantastic), choirs, orchestras. I love this since decades....I even recorded it, piano, back in 2014.

This seems to be an almost forgotten Christmas song. The first time I even heard of it I sung it in a school play.

One of my favorite Christmas songs. My brother sang it every year at our family Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve.

Nice, updated arrangement! I wish I could just buy the lead / sheet music without a membership.

[@graceferrara5161]

May I have your permission to use this song during a Christmas concert? I will be taking the voices out and using the background track.

I might get a solo with this
