I'm starting to put together the list of carols for our carol service on Sunday. Some of you may not have heard this version of a traditional favourite.
The original words were written by Isaac Watts based on Psalm 98 and was first published in 1719. The music is believed to be based on a melody by Handel. Handel spent some time just up the road from here at St. Lawrence church on Whitchurch Lane. I'm sure he would have liked what Chris Tomlin has done.
