Too fast for the congregation.

2 year late reply, but we are already looked at Advent hymns so I’m searching! This is actually the Anglican version, and the speed is perfect. Other Protestant denominations usually have a slowed down version. It’s a little weird for non-Episcopalians or Anglicans to hear at first. :)
