One of my groups has this on a Christmas CD--and we've sung it at the Kennedy Center. It's a wonderfully simple song, which, I believe, captures the flavor of Sacred Harp and other 18th and early 19th century American music, even though she obviously wrote it in the 20th century.

I listen to it often this time of year--I far prefer this kind of song to the cast-of-thousands-plus- orchestra O Come All Ye Faithful or something similar.
