Played on a 5-string, all-cherry dulcimer with the octave string removed from the bass to produce 4-string tone. This is my most requested Christmas song at church and jam sessions. It features a minimalist, almost skeletal, arrangement for the instrument, combined with vocals accompanied by a simple chord progression.
This song, like many spirituals, begins and ends on the chorus.

What a lovely performance! It's going to be the first song on my Christmas playlist--and I think I'll add it to my Easter one, too.
Beautiful song William, very enjoyable to listen to you play.
What a lovely rendition of this beautiful old song, William!
