Beautiful. This is a favorite Christmas song for me, as well. Followed closely by In the Bleak Midwinter, which has a similar weightiness to it.

Love this. Such a great Lauren Daigle rendition.

Thanks Trent. Yeah, I like that Lauren sings it as a dirge, in keeping with the melody's original intent. A lot of the other versions I sampled try to make it sound upbeat, which is not the point of the song.

Light of the World also references the song and is another great Christmas song by her.
