A beautiful keyboard accompaniment accentuates the first two stanzas of this gorgeous carol setting. The third a cappella verse is beautifully crafted, filled with rich harmonies, leading tones and sensitive lines for men's voices. Handbells or handchimes accompany the final stanza, featuring a division of low voices with congregation singing melody and high choir voices singing a countermelody. The quiet choral tag draws on a textual statement from the second verse, reminding us of the King of Kings wrapped in flesh. A gem!
