This is an absolutely gorgeous Christmas song on an album called "The Miserable Offenders". Don't remember the artists' names. Alas, I lost my copy of it when I moved from New Orleans. Can anybody help? The words as far as i can recall them:

What is the crying at Jordan? Sometihng something something Dark is the season, dark our hearts, And shut to mystery.

Now comes the hour of fulfillment Prepare for joy in the winter night...
