This song is absolutely Beautiful! When I let my grandma listen to it it brought tears to her eyes it has great meaning and memories to her and I would love to get a copy of this exact song for her to play Christmas day. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get a copy of this song onto a cd?
@10AceOfSpades01 I believe this was cut around 1964, and was originally in an LP titled "Hymns Of The Cross," credited to The Stanley Brothers and George Shuffler.
Carter Stanley....one of the greatest lead singers in Bluegrass, luckily Ralph rose to the occasion to take over after his death and keep the music going.
@WildeNotesMusic --my mom's second husband george pace gave me original music for this as adger pace was his uncle--he said his dad taught all the children how to shape note sing(sacred harp singing)--wonder if they paid the copyrights on this to play this???
@rainharper62 DK if anyone got permission to post this recording, but I seriously doubt they're making any money by posting it. You can contact ljimmie2 if you want to know.
@WildeNotesMusic Thank you. It's not about the money, especially for these old timers. All one can ask is that you listen to this wonderful music and spread it to the people.
i simply love this music!!!!!

@angelwelch38 Go to the website "COUNTY SALES" in Floyd, Va. They have everything you would want in Bluegrass music.

definitely a great song done by Ralph Stanley and his band. One of my all time favorite song. As well as It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.
Emmylou Harris does a good version of this song as well.
