@gratiasola These verses are not in the composition as written (I sang it a while back with Leo Nestor in the audience). Note also that each verse is not identical, so adding additional verses would not have been trivial. Actually this REALLY intricate and (I think) polyphonic.

A fabulous performance of this exquisite arrangement! I sang the alto long ago and have never forgotten the song, but it is hard to find now. You have done the composer proud indeed.

Wonderful performance of one of my favorite Christmas songs! Well balanced, with variations and descants in every verse. Bravo, John Brown!

And this verse:
If our blessed Lord and Maker
Hated men
Would He then
Be of flesh partaker?
If He in our woe delighted,
Would He bear
All the care
Of our race benighted?

I want to hear this verse:
Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth
Who the foe
Sin and woe
Death and hell o'erthroweth;
God is man, man to deliver
His own Son
Now is one
With our blood forever.
