I'm really not sure if you'll have it but the last verse is included in Carols for Choirs 1 and 100 Carols for Choirs. Though this video transposed it down, I think it's more effective in G major.
Please might I chip in to say that his name is actually Sir David Willcocks, rather than Sir John Willcocks. BTW. I love the arrangement, and I think the tempo is just right - only I wish it was played in G and not F. Also, I think that perhaps it might be more effective to play this carol in minims (half-notes) rather than in crotchets (quarter-notes) as it tends to flow better that way.
Wow, great arrangement...what is it? I have enjoyed watching all of your videos, and look forward to more. (only wish the audio quality of this one was better) Keep up the great work...Merry Christmas!
This is the magnificent David Willcocks arrangement included in the books Carols for Choirs 1 and 100 Carols for Choirs. I know some hymnals transpose it down, but I think this arrangement is beautiful.
Ouch, that's no fun, but it looks like you can manage that organ reasonably without the combo action. At least you're not trying to play the Wanamaker organ without combo action. P.S. the organ you're playing would be an Aeolian-Skinner, not an Aolean-Skinner.

I'm very much afraid I forgot to mention that the last verse isn't printed separately, but is attached to the hymn harmonisation.

Thanks for the comment, the composer is Sir John Willcocks - sounds rather English style, doesn't it?

Again, combination action was out of service.
