If Katherine Jenkins was a Celtic Woman fanatic, she can sing O Come All Ye Faithful on BBC’s Songs Of Praise which broadcasts on Sunday 19th December. Do you agree?

Sir David Willcocks wrote the best arrangements ever. He was the king of descants and harmonization.

O Come All Ye Faithful Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, Born the King of Angels; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. O Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word. Give to our Father glory in the Highest; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
