A unique interpretation on the traditional hymn tune, this arrangement's haunting opening melody immediately elicits vivid imagery of shepherds traversing a cold, dark night to see the newborn King. It builds triumphantly to the moment when they reach the manger and ends softly. After all, we wouldn't want to wake the baby.
