Great old song, it was written about 10 miles from where I live,R. Fisher Boyce wrote this in the 40's in a dairy barn at Gum a community just south of Murfreesboro, TN, it was published by James D. Vaughn in 1940 not until his death in 1968 did it grow in prominence.
@enaomij no I believe it was taped in 1995-1996 at Christ Church in Nashville. If you enjoyed this there is a DVD available from the Gaithers called "Joy to the World"....check their website. It is a beautiful Christmas editon containing this song and many others....2 hours of good Christmas music shot at Christ Church Nashville

i think it is Amy Lambert's part here that makes the whole song complete...she sings after Speer does.
