We used this Advent/Christmas sing by Marty Haugen for many years and I still think it is a beautiful piece of music.
The text is here (scroll down). You can hear a sample at GIA here. I can’t find a single sheet for sale there, but it can be purchased here.
The very last line of the last verse is followed by an echo.
In the middle of a hot summer at Christmas time it is hard to get enthusiastic about lines like “warm our winter night” and that might be why we give it a miss now.
You can hear a choir rehearse the song here.
10 years later, anyone still listening?
