J.C. - you are, as always, encouraging in your
comments, for which, many thanks! I wish you
all the best with your own contribution to the hymn/carol genre. It is profoundly satisfying
to do something like this - I'm sure you will agree. The uploaded audio is a simple version
and I would like to have a soloist sing the
first verse; soloist and choir sing the second; and a congregation joining in to blast out the third (in italics) - and so on through
the piece to its conclusion. That would be my
ideal arrangement.

Top bombing again, MC.
Pitched just right to make it "accessible" as a carol. But simple and faithful internal rhymes. (You're just showing off now, aren't you?).
I've just co-written a school hymn for our local which gets its world premiere in a day or two. The quality is provided by the composer not the lyricist!
Race you to the Christmas No 1.
