We sang this at my (briefly-attended) childhood Methodist church, which was on the "high" side for Methodism, I do believe (although I don't really have any basis for comparison). Aside from only having Communion quarterly - a practice of which founder John Wesley would not have approved, preferring at least weekly Communion himself - the service leaflets from that period seem to be very like Anglican Morning Prayer of the same period, which was celebrated more often than Communion in most Episcopal Churches then.
The video was made on Christmas Eve at St. John's Episcopal Church in Detroit.

Thank you for this. They missed the dance of it, but still, it is lovely.
I agree it was a bit flat. It does need a bit of a lilt to it, which wasn't there.
I'll look around the web and see if there's anything like that! Will post it if I find it....
