This is a song most of you have probably never heard of. I know I never
would have heard it if it hadn't been for an obscure CD that I don't
even know how it was picked up but that we have had in our family for as
long as I can remember. This hymn is one of the most beautiful I have
ever heard. It can be sung slowly or very quickly and still sound pretty
well. The tune is what we now know as plain chant, this one is, I
believe, of French origin.
Tr. Percy Dearmer, 1870-1936
Music: La Feillee's "Methode du Plain-chant," 1782
