“I usually gravitate to pieces that are a bit more complex or have more musical variety, but I think the simplicity of the music adds to the beauty of the message. This is a lesser-known Christmas song...”

“This is such a beautiful carol. Words a little 'different' but music captures the beauty of Christmas. Thank you for making the sheet music freely available.”

“Elegant simplicty, with beautifully chosen words that the singer can emphasise naturally to evoke the sense of awe ona cold, winter's night”

“One of my most favourite carols. This version is simple and easy to use.”

“This is probably the most under appreciated Christmas Carol in the US.”

“Thankfull to have found this page. Easy to use & great songs,”

“so much feeling in the music and of course the text aswel”

“The best most moving Christmas Carol in my opinion”

“It is one oh the best carols! I like it so much!”

“by chance I heard holsts piece on the radio and was taken away. What was on you tube to read: it makes calm, happy and sad at the same time.”
