This brings back memories to me. I played Melchior in my public schools play and walked down the aisle with our offerings to baby jesus and I was so psyched to sing this. Mario Lanza sings it perfectly....great pace, feeling and ability.
I've loved this song since I was a little kid and my mother played it every Christmas. Thanks so much for posting it brings back a lot of wonderful memories!
@neonfish07 I don't know if you're joking or not but that aint James Earl Jones. Wow! The voice of Darth Vader on a Christmas song. Now that would be kinda scary lol.

The narratsion is not likely to be Jones, who was merely a baby
at most when this was recorded in the 1950s. Mario died in
1959, at the young age of 38 . . . from phlebitis . . in Italy.

I grew up listening to Mario Lanza! GREAT memories! When I was about 14 years old, I had "Balthazar's part" as a solo in the Church choir.

This is a very heavy hymn for a child to be able to negotiate. It was scary and soooo honest. I love this hymn. me
