This Christmas carol is absolutely glorious and it was such an honour [and so much fun!] to record, with all the soaring 'angel choirs' parts.... I dearly hope you like it as this is one of the nicest arrangements I think I've ever made for a Christmas song! If you want to use it in a Christmas church service scroll down for my email to get [free!] permission. I'd be so happy to see this song be used wherever it can be a blessing!
Have a blessed and Merry Christmas and thanks for listening and singing along!

If you enjoy this channel, you might like the “slowed and reverb” versions that I post on my side channel, @EtherealHymns
They are what I call “Cathedral Mixes”, where there is more space to think and enough reverb to carry you away peacefully on the clouds of a glorious sunset….

Lyrics: ELW 284
1 ’Twas in the moon of wintertime
when all the birds had fled,
that God the Lord of all the earth
sent angel choirs instead;
before their light the stars grew dim,
and wand'ring hunters heard the hymn:
Refrain:
Jesus your king is born!
Jesus is born,
in excelsis gloria!
2 Within a lodge of broken bark
the tender babe was found;
a ragged robe of rabbit skin
enwrapped his beauty round;
but as the hunter braves drew nigh,
the angel song rang loud and high: [Refrain]
3 The earliest moon of wintertime
is not so round and fair
as was the ring of glory on
the helpless infant there.
The chiefs from far before him knelt
with gifts of fox and beaver pelt. [Refrain]
4 O children of the forest free,
the angel song is true;
the holy child of earth and heav'n
is born today for you.
Come, kneel before the radiant boy,
who brings you beauty, peace, and joy. [Refrain]

Lastly, consider this channel your own personal hymn-sing - I'm always hoping for new requests for hard-to-find songs. If you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, please leave a comment below and let me know, or email staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll see if I can do it for you! The older and less known, the better! It's always a delight to unearth treasures from the past and give them a new voice to reach believers in a new era.
