Thread Name: Christmas songs in original languages
Subject: RE: Christmas songs in original languages
The "Scottish" version above was first included in the second edition of The Church of Scotland's Church Hymnary (1927, no. 49), and has been in the subsequent editions: the third (1973, no. 176), and the fourth (2005, no. 309). It was translated by Stopford Augustus Brooke (1832-1916) and Compilers of Revised Church Hymnary, 1927. This hymn had not been in the 19th-century Scottish Hymnal.

Stopford Augustus Brooke was an Irish churchman and writer (See Stopford Augustus Brooke at Wikipedia).
