Now the Green Blade Riseth - very old, possibly French in origin, can't remember who has recorded it. It's a lovely calming, reflective tune although it can go on a bit.

Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band have a CD - 'Sing lustily & with Good Courage' ISBN 5013133 438324 - that features gallery carols from the 18th and 19th Centuries. It includes such great Wesley singalongs as 'Light of the World', 'Away with our sorrow and care', And can it be?', 'Christ the Lord is ris'n today'; Buyans 'Who would true valour see', and lots of other good stompin' hymns.
