Music for Advent: Come, thou long expected Jesus







St. John's College Chapel Choir, Cambridge, sings Come, thou long expected Jesus.  This tune is Cross of Jesus.  I was more familiar with the tune Stuttgart, but this one is really lovely.

I'm with you. I like Stuttgart, but the only versions I seem to be able to find are that tune and the words set to Hyfrydol. Funnily, I was actually having this exact same conversation with one of my classmates less than 10 minutes ago. I wonder what people have against Stuttgart...
Maybe it's a US vs British thing. This one is lovely, though, and I'm always glad to know a new tune.
