From Phil Moore’s 2020 album Home for Christmas: Carols for a very different Christmas
This classic but lesser-known Christmas carol gets a funky modern twist that makes it ideal for online or in-person carol services (with limited congregational singing). The harmony of male and female vocals means it can be sung along with or listened to with equal appreciation.
