There were a lot of choices to make when I was putting together the Christmas album. I knew which songs I'd NEVER do, but there were still a lot to consider.

I was looking through an old hymnal and found this "English" melody version of the song. Not sure if it was the original but I liked it a lot and tried to play it with an "English" feel.
