The People Who In Darkness Walked CWB II 272

Having covered AOV and GA there aren’t a lot of Christmas songs that I haven’t covered so I can skip:

265 Joy to the World AOV 1/170

266 O Little Town of Bethlehem GA 296

267 O Come, All Ye faithful AOV 1/167

268 Of the Father’s Love Begotten

269 Once in Royal David’s City GA 297

270 Silent Night, Holy Night! AOV 1/168

271 Sing We, Sing We Noel AOV 2/124

 

This hymn was written by John Morrison (c18) and the CWB II has adapted lyrics by Jubilate, available here. Hymnary can take you through the various other iterations of the text.

The tune is DUNDEE from the Scottish Psalter (c17), harmonised by Thomas Ravencroft. Some versions shorten some of the long notes but this is the tune as in CWB II, and it sounds more Presbyterian this way. I got the chords from versions on Hymnary.
