@Humshee: It was composed in Scotland in the 18th century in honor of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" Charles Edward Stuart, during the Jacobite Rebellion. You know "Semper Fideles" "E Pluribus Unum" are patriotic slogans of the U.S. The Song had a double meaning. On the surface level, it is about Jesus being born in Bethlehem & the "faithful" coming to adore Him.
On anothere level it was about all faithiful Scots rallying to the cause of the true heir of the Scottish thrown.
Ten years ago or so I had a friend who had this in laser disc and on December, every single time he arrived home he heard the concert. I remember both us on tears several times / Hace como 10 años tenía un amigo que tenía esto en laser disc y en diciembre siempre que llegaba a casa escuchaba el concierto. LLoramos muchas veces
Greatest Scottish patriotic song ever!

@VictorLepanto It's a Hymn in Latin. How does that make it a Scottish patriotic song?
