Whatever your beliefs, this melody is just too wonderful not to hear.
"This hymn is sung at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve in the islands of Barra, South Uist and Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides. The words were written by Father Ranald Rankin, and given by him to the children of his congregation in Moidart, when he left for Australia in 1855. The original song has 29 verses, and as with many old Gaelic songs, several variants of the tune exist". - This information courtesy Alice Flynn and Anne Cooke

My arrangement. Recorded in one pass, no over dubbing.
