One of the main reasons i love Peter is how interactive he is with his community, its so visible in his comment section he has always gone through so many comments and replied not with bland copy and paste that other youtubers do but by actually responding to what they say. I messaged the guy a while back now and i never thought id even get a reply but i ended up having an actual conversation with him which was bloody amazing. Peter goes above and beyond this by even having his fans participate in the video, getting them to sing! the very thing this channel is all about he gives the opportunity to his own audience to give a sense of unity. This kind of connection is so amazing and important so thank you Peter for being so amazing at interacting with your audience i truly believe you are one of the best youtubers at doing this.
Wow! Thank you so much for your amazingly kind words. ❤️My team shared this with me before I got this far in the comments and I my jaw dropped because of the kind things you said. I try to make it a priority to make sure people know how much I appreciate them... and this is literally the kind of posts that mean the most to me.... I can't say thank you enough for everything you've said. You really are the best and I appreciate you so much! Never stop commenting!
I'm hearing this for the first time in 2023 and it has brought comfort to me in a time of war and horror. How blessed we are to have the hope that comes from our Saviour Yeshua (Jesus)!
I'm a Muslim, and I think that it doesn't matter what your religion is, but to honor one of the greatest Prophets in history, such as Jesus, in this way, brings comfort to my heart too. Especially in such times, where the whole world is mired in death, destruction, genocide and warfare.
I'm an atheist, but I always appreciate the passion that goes into christian music. It feels the artists are always sincere rather than just singing what/how their label told them to.
Same. Some of the Christian acapella groups are among the elite. Take the group "Rescue" with their cover of America the Beautiful. It's so good, especially the C#1 at the end from the bass. Absolutely insane.
If you are led by the Spirit of God you are a son of God. Your appreciation for Christian music is God’s Holy Spirit knocking on the door of your heart. Revelation 3:20.
This is my all-time favorite Christmas carol! Considering how Christ came into this world, this was a perfect location! It is hauntingly beautiful and it's what this season is all about! Lovely!
Drive the Oregon Coast beaches at least once, and wow....not to mention mountains, forests, dunes, that cave, seriously, I lived in Washington state and only forayed into Oregon a few times, but each time there was something awesome that I will never forget! It is also the only place I've been where I was unaware a bear was trying to decide if I was edible or not. I heard the huffing and puffing but decided not to worry, and in the morning found bear tracks all around the tent. O! M! Gosh!
I've never heard this corol like this... it's so beautiful. Not my favourite carol, it's usually sung as a rather jingly happy song, but this one .....Wow!!! it made me cry !!! Thank you Peter, and friends :)
The song is so ancient, and meaningful, and so many versions are out there......but is always good to get a refreshing view, like this one from Peter. The Vocalise in the middle is sublime. Thank you Peter!!
I thought pentatonix version of this song is unbeatable but now I'm having doubts about that. This is extraordinary! Am I the only one who enjoys Christmas songs all 12 months a year? 😂🎄
not me i waited till halloween just fr the halloween songs which there arent many of and now ive got to wait a little less than a year for halloween to return so i can hear more music i like
So beautiful Peter Hollens and the Hound and the Fox ....what a beautiful rendition !! Love all of you ! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ...May God bless you !!
My sister and I have loved your music for years! She is on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints right now! As a Christmas gesture I'd like to request a song for her. It's not quite Disney yet we grew up like it was "Let me be your wings" from Thumbelina. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us all! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Nice versions are the German (Stille Nacht), and The french one (Sainte nuit). The German is also the original one with it's six strophes... Those three languages from this song also have a big message from the world war 2, when it paused the war at Christmas
My Father and I used to sing this in the car while heading out to go Christmas shopping every year. I so miss doing that with him. Thank You for your version of the song.
Absolutely loved this - something great about this tune. When I was at school, I sang this with our 100 strong chapel choir, mighty organ and descents etc as part of a choral Christmas cd.
Beautiful! Great job! Back when this was written, (15th century though it was not published until the 19th), the words meant something different, the biggest being the title and first line, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”. Merry meant something mighty. Rest meant make or keep. Put a comma after merry/mighty and you have, “God Make You Mighty, Gentlemen,” or God Keep You Mighty Gentlemen”. While it was not published until the 19th century, it was sung for hundreds of years prior. It was one of the most beloved songs back in the 15th century, because it was so happy and joyous. When you think about it, this also turns, “Merry Christmas” into “Mighty Christmas” which I like.
I am living overseas away from my family. I have always had a distain for Christmas music because I have missed so many Christmas and in my opinion, Christmas music can sound so monotonous. Peter and H&F is amazing. Thank you for putting me back in the Christmas spirit
Wonderful! Hoping the lion king song is coming soon! Also... nice to see you can be clumsy at times! 😂😂😂 I will still wait for the day you do "He Lives in you" ☺
Many channels are covering Christmas songs now, and most Christmas songs are about God and Jesus. Christmas is a christian holiday. So what are you on about?
The best Christmas music always have a mysterious feel to them. O Come Emanuel, Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent, and sometime God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen. Because Christmas is mysterious and, while certain, not completely known.
The sound a cave adds to any music just makes it that much more beautiful. Every version out there has its own special aspect to it so I can't really say where I would rank it. It is definitely memorable and something I would listen to more than once during the holiday season!!
OHHH wow!!! I'm loosing my English XD Not able to find words to comment! Since I'm finishing my semester, I don't feel like Christmas... But after hearing that video... Well, I'm a litle bit more into it! Thank you and Congrats again! You nailed it s always!
Treasure Planet is one of the best and most underappreciated movies that Disney has ever made. I'm Still Here is an amazing song. Please, please sing this song.
Im not sure if you'll see this but I want to share that I am a patron to only 2 artists & YOU, kind sir, are 1 of them because of your brilliant creations & loving, kind & sincere (& sometimes goofy, which I love) interactions with your people. From my heart to yours, thank you, God bless you & your precious Hollens family!! Merry Christmas!!
So glad I found your channel! This Christmas is a bittersweet one for me after losing my dad to cancer earlier in the year and then becoming a mother to my beautiful daughter two months later - having a bunch of new adaptations of old Christmas favourites to listen to is just what's needed right now
Thank you so much for making this. I'm having a pretty dark and anxious Christmas season this year and jolly holiday music just isn't appealing right now. This song gave me comfort.

@@PeterHollens You're a role model for freelancers, Peter! Never change. :)
awesome
Love it!

Amen

Soooo, what do y'all think!? Where does this rank in your favorite version of this song?!? LEMME HEAR IT! ALL THE GOOD AND BAD!
Literally just became my favorite.
I've heard other versions but this one is the best! Definitely going on my Spotify Christmas list! Excellent work!
Love it! You just beat PTX.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL! IT'S MARVELOUS! IT'S... IT'S... BEAUTIMOUS!!!!
Literally two of my favorite artists singing about the happiest thing in the world. I absolutely loved it. Now to go watch their video....
I ADORE the ominous yet calming feel this song gives me!
Yessss I haven’t seen the video but the song in general
Honestly
I'm an atheist, but I always appreciate the passion that goes into christian music. It feels the artists are always sincere rather than just singing what/how their label told them to.
Same. Some of the Christian acapella groups are among the elite. Take the group "Rescue" with their cover of America the Beautiful. It's so good, especially the C#1 at the end from the bass. Absolutely insane.
We are because we are singing to God
Ditto, although I don't share beliefs I still acknowledge good music when I hear it.
If you are led by the Spirit of God you are a son of God. Your appreciation for Christian music is God’s Holy Spirit knocking on the door of your heart. Revelation 3:20.
It’s for the love of our faith, some people love their faith to spread it this way. Those who do it by force, only love the illusion of it’s power.
It's beautiful. The word 'beautiful' doesn't even begin to describe it. It's beyond beautiful.
I love this time of year, so many talented artist sharing their gifts! Happy holidays! Lilly
Right?! So many great songs out there!!! ❤️Happy Holidays to you too Lilly!! ❣️
Pentatonix: We have the best cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
Peter: Hold my bass.
Lol yea, but tbh Peter hollens may be the better then pentatonix, but my opinion
@@josephjoestar5823 I actually am fairly certain that's what Michael meant by "Peter: Hold my bass"
@@Spectralyzed dude, that was 9 months, but you may be right.
Nah this version cringe pentatonix is way better
They're incomparable cos they're both so different, and i love that!😍
This is my favorite Christmas song. ✝️
Of all versions of this song, this one is my favorite. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas.
This is my all-time favorite Christmas carol! Considering how Christ came into this world, this was a perfect location! It is hauntingly beautiful and it's what this season is all about! Lovely!
This started to be my fave too!
the flipping CHILLS OHMYGOSH I absolutely love the vibe of this
I'll be honest, the song gave me goosebumps at 2:16. Amazing song! I love your work peter, keep it up! You are truly awesome.
That part is literally THEE BEST part and is amazing to listen to every time
So true
You're making me fall in love with your state!! I cannot believe you have all that natrual beauty!
Oh my goodness Stephanie! Oregon has everything! It's crazy and beautiful and wonderful and magical ❤️I definitely recommend seeing it at least once 😍
Drive the Oregon Coast beaches at least once, and wow....not to mention mountains, forests, dunes, that cave, seriously, I lived in Washington state and only forayed into Oregon a few times, but each time there was something awesome that I will never forget!

very nice...glad your doing some good classic christian Christmas songs...and adding to them
Thanks so much Joseph!
This introduced me to my favorite Christmas song
Peter, you and those who perform with you are among the most amazing talent I've ever heard!
WHAT A COMPLIMENT! Thank you so much!! ❤️
The song is so ancient, and meaningful, and so many versions are out there......but is always good to get a refreshing view, like this one from Peter. The Vocalise in the middle is sublime. Thank you Peter!!
I thought pentatonix version of this song is unbeatable but now I'm having doubts about that. This is extraordinary! Am I the only one who enjoys Christmas songs all 12 months a year? 😂🎄
You are definitely not the only person LOL
I think that version is for action sequences meanwhile this would good for a movie intro
For everyone, you are great. God has a great plan for you. You are loved. Have an amazing day!
This is truly beautiful, because it glorifies God.
Peter Hollens together with the Hound and the Fox is pure magic🤩😇🌟 Have a merry Christmas season 2024 everybody🫶
Magic happens when we team up! ✨ Thanks for the love, and happy holidays! 🎄🎁

Meeee!!! Christmas is my favorite time of the year!
Got chills listening to this. Honor and power and blessings be unto the Father, and unto the Lamb that was slain!
The best version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen I have ever heard.
I love everything Peter Hollens does. What a gift he has, along with all the singers he is joined with.
Very well done. Love combination of voices
Thank you so much Blaze! The Hound + The Fox are AWESOME to work with!! ❤️SO MUCH TALENT
2:16 !!!! Instant chills! I love your talent Peter! You have such a beautiful voice
2:15 WOW!

What a spectacular transition. EPIC!!!!!!
Insert heart attack
God rest ye merry gentleman, please award this guys a nominee!
This is one of my favorite christmas songs. Everyone did so well, this is so beautiful. Happy Holidays Peter
SAME!! I love this song and The Hound + The Fox made this song AMAZING. Happy Holidays to you too serendipity jm! 😍
Got to admit this is the first God rest ye merry gentlemen I heard that got pop in it, ty Peter, The Fox, and The Hound for the beautiful performance
Needed this pick-me-up to carry me through finals. This was tasty.
Thanks so much Josh! Good luck with you finals!!
The bridge is absolutely haunting. I could listen to just that all day. 😌
Wooo! That's what we love to hear!
This has to be my favorite Christmas carol. It's cool to hear your version of this song.
LOVE IT LOVE IT Just Love the way tradional songs can be brought to the masses in this modern world
Ah, i feel that Christmas spirit! This is so sweet!
Yay!! I am so happy to hear that 😍Thank you so much Galdius Astrorum ❤️
So beautiful Peter Hollens and the Hound and the Fox ....what a beautiful rendition !! Love all of you ! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ...May God bless you !!

Mormonism is unBiblical.
HOOOOO boyo I was not prepared for when that beat kicked in but I am SHOOK... I got chills.....
Amazing, as always.
Thanks so much Kyle!! 🥰
I started crying about four seconds in. Thank you for that amazing experience!
Do silent Night in different languages... There is this song in nearly every language
Ooo yes! I second this
I second this! Maybe as a collab with fans and other musicians?
I could get behind this one!
Please, do NOT do the Chinese version, it pales dramatically in contrast with the English version, and I say this as a Chinese person myself!
Nice versions are the German (Stille Nacht), and The french one (Sainte nuit).
The German is also the original one with it's six strophes...
Those three languages from this song also have a big message from the world war 2, when it paused the war at Christmas
Hauntingly, hauntingly beautiful, @Peter Hollens. This is one of the more unique versions out there, and it's gorgeous!!!
Quite possibly the most epic rendition of this song. So much love.
Keep returning to these voices and beautiful harmony!
Peter I just love all your videos!! Also my signed copy of your LOTR cd just arrived! I'm so happy!!
And I CAN'T WAIT FOR BE PREPARED
YASS!!!! I am so happy to hear that!! ❤️😁
Oh my goodness!! Me neither!!!!!
My Father and I used to sing this in the car while heading out to go Christmas shopping every year. I so miss doing that with him. Thank You for your version of the song.
Pretty good very haunting😀 can't wait for your new album!!!!!!
Thank you so much Nienna! ❤️
Absolutely loved this - something great about this tune. When I was at school, I sang this with our 100 strong chapel choir, mighty organ and descents etc as part of a choral Christmas cd.
I think this just became my favorite version of this song. Could you do "Do you hear what I hear"
It would be hard to top the Home Free version.
Beautiful! Great job!

You three singing together = my favorite songs ! This and Parting glass are amazing ! Stunning!
This is amazing. Merry Christmas everyone.
This version is such a VIBE, omg.
WOWOWOW I got chills. This is beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️ wonderful job
My favourite classic Christmas song. This might be the best version I have heard of it.

Thank you so much Randeep! There just MIGHT be a couple of Lion King songs coming soon-ish ❤️😛 I will totally add that to my suggestion list!! 😊
Wow, beautiful - love it.
Thank you for doing a song about God I haven't seen a lot of channels that sing Christian songs
Thanks so much Silent Knight! TIS THE SEASON!! ❤️
You're welcome ive been watching this over and over again its such a great song
Many channels are covering Christmas songs now, and most Christmas songs are about God and Jesus. Christmas is a christian holiday. So what are you on about?
@@GingerDaemon Why not point him/her to the channels you say are plenty?
Because I don't know which channels are watched by silent knight.

Thank you for the BEAUTY guys
🙏💜🙏

2:07 and on 😍
This was an amazing and beautiful version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. This song is my favorite Christmas hymn and I got chills listening
Who are all listening this song in Dec 2020?.😍😍😍😍😊
The best Christmas music always have a mysterious feel to them. O Come Emanuel,
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent, and sometime God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen. Because Christmas is mysterious and, while certain, not completely known.

Ya done it again Mr. Hollens! Another great cover, and of one of my favorite Christmas hymns.

LOVED THIS VERSION, LOVE CHRISTMAS HYMNALS 💒👑🌈. The background, JEHOVAH is truly magnificent with his creations 🙆.
Please do I'm still here from treasure planet :D
LOVE! ❤️
Oh I love that song. At the moment -Caleb Hayes- Caleb Hyles version is my favorite, but I'm certain Peter will be a tough contender.
Sing
Yessss, that song! 😍😍😍
Treasure Planet is one of the best and most underappreciated movies that Disney has ever made. I'm Still Here is an amazing song. Please, please sing this song.
3 lovely souls with beautiful voices make for an amazing video. Its beautiful.

From my heart to yours, thank you, God bless you & your precious Hollens family!! Merry Christmas!!
This is better than the Pentatonix version . And that should mean something
IT SO DOES! Thank you Johanna!!!! ❣️
So much better than theirs, I mean they're not bad but my goodness I have major goosebumps thank you for the amazing songs!
I am in LOVE with this version! I cannot stop listening to it. GREAT job Peter and The Hound and The Fox!
This is an old English author unknown. Those days UK was a Christian country. Sad to see Christianity dying in UK and all over Europe.
In America Christianity is very strong but unfortunately it became a business,not salvation 😢
So glad I found your channel! This Christmas is a bittersweet one for me after losing my dad to cancer earlier in the year and then becoming a mother to my beautiful daughter two months later - having a bunch of new adaptations of old Christmas favourites to listen to is just what's needed right now
Ever since I was subscribed to you, you had done nothing but surprised me with better and better songs. I love this.
Fantastic, and I can't wait for 'Be Prepared'. It's one of my favourite songs.
Beautiful! Caves are so gorgeous, especially the underground waterfalls and the echo.
the song is amazing and all, but come on that cinematography in this video is amazing. Its sooo good.
Beautiful voices and beautiful location. Absolutely amazing.
Never heard this song before, and now I can't stop listening to it, over and over again...it's so beautiful! Thank you !
I cant describe this song... I didn't hear an amazing song like this before
Love this arrangement. So smooth and hauntingly beautiful.
yes, the new paint job on the car was worth it for the caves were fantastic. loved the sound of the song. Merry Christmas Peter and family.
Thank you so much for making this. I'm having a pretty dark and anxious Christmas season this year and jolly holiday music just isn't appealing right now. This song gave me comfort.
