I think the Weedon family just found an assignment for sometime during the Christmas season!!!
P.S. Better yet, Pastor Jerry Gernander has pointed out to me that the version from the Oxford Book of Carols may be found at ELH #112 - with Praetorius' setting no less! Truly ELH is one of the gems of the new hymnals when it comes to the musical content!

Thanks for pointing that out. I've been addicted to that hymn since being given the CD a few years ago. That ELH had this treasure and it was simply languishing on my shelf ... well, that's just sad.
