Requested by Phoebe, On Jordan’s Bank, isn’t strictly speaking, a Christmas carol–but we do have to follow the Lord to His baptism, by John, in the River Jordan. We have it here by the Norwich Cathedral Choir in England.

Requested by Jeremy: Here’s another old familiar Christmas carol sung by a melody I’ve never heard before–The Holly and the Ivy, sung by the Norwich Cathedral Choir.
By the way, the carol contest is still on and the leading carol is still on top with 44 views on the day it was posted. Can you beat that?
Phoebe asked for this one, The Holly and the Ivy; and let’s go first-class, with the Norwich Cathedral Choir.
I didn’t recognize the hymn at first. Like so many other really old hymns, The Holly and the Ivy comes attached to several very different melodies. Which means, folks, you can with a clear conscience ask for it again, and it’ll sound totally different!
