		<itunes:summary>Well, looking at our calendar we realized we wouldn't have any time to record our song before next week if we didn't do it tonight. And I'll be darned if I don't meet my goal of a song a week, so that's what we did. This was a quick recording so it's rough, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I love my wife's simple voice. So perfect for a folk hymn like this one.

Of note with this version of the classic Christmas song: since we adapted the words to the melody of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, the five original versus didn't quite work. I did some searching online and found a really old version of the poem that had a 6th verse, so we threw it in.</itunes:summary>
