What is your favorite Christmas Carol?

I love Christmas music.  The old carols bring back wonderful memories.  Of course, the way they were sung when I was growing up isn't the same way they are sung today.  Progress is great, and I know there's a new generation of kids we need to appeal to, but some of us who've been listening a long time would like a couple of carols done the way they were written using the tempo the author intended.

I will say one of my favorite Christmas albums is Repeat the Sounding Joy by Phillips Craig and Dean. (1996)  Okay, it's a little old, but the songs on that album still resound with joy and glory.  The song I love the most is Come, Oh Come Emmanuel.  The song touches my heart every time I heard it.
O come, o come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mours in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

O come, Thou Dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to fight

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanual
Shall come to Thee, O Israel.

O come, Though Wisdom from on high
And order all things far and  night
to us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in her ways to go.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanual
Shall come to Thee, O Israel.

O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanual
Shall come to Thee, O Israel.
