"SING * PLAY * LOVE"...My thoughts and memories as I play one hymn each day from the hymnbook of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" during 2012.

#212 "Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains"
This hymn is a uniquely LDS Christmas hymn. I've always liked it because it was similar to "Glory to God" from Handel's Messiah. I am glad we have this song in our hymnbook. It's nice to use as a choir number with the women singing a duet on verse one (SA) and then having the entire choir sing SATB for the chorus. It is also effective to sing the first "Peace on earth, goodwill to men" softly and then sing the last two phrases a little louder.
