It’s a lovely arrangement by Björn Griesheimer, from the Schott publication Carols of the World. You can buy the single octavo here. Complete text and translations are included. I’ve done it as a processional, and it’s effective. The arranger has given two alternate SATB voicings, allowing you to use a low voice for Joseph and a treble voice for the innkeeper (who at first wants to keep the holy family out!).

 

Happy programming,
