Soprano Grace M. Urbanski sings the setting from Eade's Cornish Carols (ca. 1889), and the congregation then joins in two verses of the Henry T. Smart version. Carlo Cotrone is the organist. Because the video camera was unmonitored, Grace is unfortunately not visible in this footage from the "Christmas Around the World" concert at Kenwood Church (Milwaukee, WI, December 8, 2007).
As a pastor's kid and veteran of about a kajillion worship services, I especially appreciate the percussion continuo (0:14-0:35) contributed by what sounded like either the radiator or a small child.

I love the 1889 setting of text. Nicely performed!
