Veni, Veni, Immanuel (O Come, O Come, Immanuel) is best for something Mediaeval, as it is specifically for Advent, not Christmas.

A Stable Lamp Is Lighted (And Ev'ry Stone Shall Cry) is the best modern Christmas carol, and is, I believe, the newest written. I hate the Episcopal tune, but there is a lovely alternate melody, by American composer Michael Larkin, that our choir used last Advent. The carol also works at Eastertide, as it has verses for the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
