i see no reason to bring hate to this beautiful song and its sign of peace we were all gathered to hear this beautiful song not hate or criticize it or hate each other just hear this song. why can we just get along ?
I am not religious at all, but I have to say, Christian church music is very nice; the recording of the choir here, in particular, is very beautiful. The images accompanying are also very beautiful.
agreed, all brothers and sisters in Christ, when it comes down to it, thats all that really matters, that we believe in Him and Hope on His word, individual beliefs follow a firm testimony of His love and Atonement.
This is simply beautiful! I am deeply saddened, however, by the comments bashing one another. There is already enough hate and sin in the world, why add to the contention? It is a beautiful song, speaking a widely accepted message, why would it matter what church sings it if we're all praising the same all powerful being? Christ? The Son of God. Christmas is truly a beautiful time of year, I hope everyone enjoys it.
Absolutely beautiful. As a Roman Catholic, I have to say that I appreciate the music from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, especially their Christmas songs.
Thank you Lord for sending Jesus Christ into the world to save the world at Christmas. For God so loved the world that HE gave His only son , that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:15
Besides, I think we need to focus on the real point behind this. I don't care who you are or what religion you are, you have to agree that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is simply amazing.
I'm a LDS, I'm a Mormon. I love my Church and very proud of our Tabernacle Choir. Everybody have a wonderful Christmas! Felíz Navidad a todos y que nuestro Padre Celestial les llene de bendiciones!
In this day that Christianity is being threatened on every side it is so important to pull together as brothers and sisters in Christ. I think that is what this song promotes.
I love this music. I am not mormon but that doesn't make this any less beautiful. I have listened to them sing christmas music since I was a very young child. So I think this is what christmas should sound like. I like it so much better than any secular christmas music out there.
Merry Christmas! God became a man in the person of Christ. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
It's a pretty song. And it was done beautifully. This is about the music. The art. The beauty. So what if a religion comes with it. It's still beautiful!
Whyzitsotough? Well things are tough when there is little love or peace in a persons life. Things are tough when you devote time to fighting people who have done you no wrong. We are christian. We love the Christ who taught us to love everyone. We love you, who is a self-declared enemy. I know that if you take time to find out what the Church of Jesus Christ really teaches you would find life easier. You would find hope, love and inner peace. May God bless you and help you find your way brother.
There will come a defining moment in your life when you will come face to face, heart to heart, and soul to soul with Me. At that moment I will ask you, “Do you love Me?” I will wait for your “yes”. My love will win. Why? Because I am God! Because I love you! Because I have heard your slight movement to Me. I know then that all the rest is history. Once I have touched you, it’s all over but the rejoicing in heaven for a prodigal son/daughter has returned home. Jesus PERFECT & INFINITE LOVE web
My God this is amazing! What beautiful music the Mormon people make! I love the subtle crescendo and then the bass enters and wow! So moving! Merry Christmas everyone!
I have never known an instance in which frivolous, malicious claims have ever trumped over the greatness that is God and his son. You don't have to believe in any of our teachings or beliefs, but it would be [civilized] to agree to disagree and respect each other and understand we are not the same and do not believe the same. I do not question God's ways because his ways are not ours. I wish you the best, but most especially I wish you an ounce of wisdom, understanding, and faith.
pacificsharp: I appreciate your sentiment. I make an effort not to bash or hate anyone. I'm having a discussion with kingsmen711, but I don't hate kingsmen711 and I don't believe kingsmen711 hates me. I agree that bashing, angry or heated words, hating, etc., ought not have a place in these discussion threads. Peace and Merry Christmas!
kingsmen711: I always love how people like yourself feel they can dictate to me what my beliefs are, what my doctrine" is, and presume that I, a member of the LDS church for 40 plus years, know less than they do as to what the LDS church does and does not teach. And then they have the temerity to turn around and criticize their carefully constructed straw men. Love and light
afsmith1313 As an ex temple worthy member,I dared pull back the curtain to see the great and powerful Oz. Please explain to the good folks where in the Gospels it says that Jesus is a product of intercourse in the pre-existence. Or that all worthy men will become Gods once they pass through the veil as it says in the Book of Mormon. Thats all for now. Need more?
There is a reason that members of the LDS church are encouraged not to bash, with people of other faiths and this message board is a great example of that. Its filled with trash and hate from both sides and ruins the peaceful message of this beautiful song. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Mr2ndAmendment. There is nothing at all frivolous or malicious at all in my comments. It is LDS doctrine. Period. You seem to want us to "Educate" ourselves. Well here it is. The next time you want to insult someone by saying "Ignorance is bliss,enjoy it." Maybe you should look into a mirror. At a minimum, have the courage to examine what it is that's being put forth to you. It was difficult for me, but in the end, most liberating. God bless you
Regardless of what you think, your comment would have been better written without the "s" word. I'm Roman Catholic, too, but I wouldn't try to convince anyone using that type of language. Have a Merry Christmas!
@Kittyonastring13 If God is so good and loving, why Hitler? Why so much war everywhere? Why all the corruption and hate that we all have to got through in life? You'd think such a benevolent deity would protect us from such things.
@Whyzitsotough dude, my dads side of my family is loosly catholic, and many of my moms side of my family are devout Catholics...we get along great, the perceived myth that there is a 'ongoing rivalry between Mormons and Catholics is False' if someones opinion is that Catholic singers are better that is there opinion, nothing more, and would you please state your source? lastly, if we wanted to appear catholic why dont we believe in the Trinity for starters?
You aparently should not be sleeping during priesthood meetings. " All men and women are in the similitude of the universal Father and Mother, and are literaly the sons and daughters to Deity; as spirits they are the offspring of celestial parenrtage." (Man:His Origin and Destiny,pp.351,355. Quoted by Mormon Doctrine,p.589.)' Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being. He was begotten,conceived and born in the normal course of events."(Mormon Doctrine, p.322) Questions?
when it comes down to it, we are arguing, with our limited, imperfect perception, over the nature of a infinite, perfect being. can we not enjoy this Christmas, at the very least, as brothers in the Human Race. put all religious and political beliefs aside, and just love as He would have us love. cuz in the end....thats all that really matters :)
then i honestly dont know what to do. at the very least we try, if its now a sin to do anything christlike in the least because its 'a sick fixation with appearing Catholic'' than i guess Christs doctrine haas gone to waste. He said to feed his sheep, mourn with those who morn, stand with those who stand in need of comfort etc. and if we now cant do that unless we conform to A SINGLE CHURCHES VIEWS OF HOW TO DO SO...i dont know where we are. so let me ask you a question, do we now half to sell
okay so. by the analogy of Christ saying he has nothing to prove. you are saying that because i tried to answer your question, im unchristlike and imperfect. well that would make you satan....... when you say that we are evil by our actions, what happened to all the humanitarian work weve done, the tithing and fast offerings we pay to help those less fortunate, i nand out of our church. can we please not argue about this anymore and just enjoy this christmas as Fellow brothers in Christ?
It appears that you seek our destruction Whyzitsotough. If not, you seek desperately for a truth you have not yet found....as signified by your title "Whyzitsotough". Pray to God. You'll not hear what we Mormons will say obviously...except to fuel your hatred. If you seek Christ, look for Him. Spending all of your time criticizing the Mormons is not an act of seeking Christ. SO, go find peace. Go find your answer in prayer to HIM of whom the answer commeth. Read his words and Follow his ways.
I like mormons. They are always the sweetest people I come across.
Great song.
I am not a particular religious person, but if anyone has ever been touched by God, it is the composer of this song.
i see no reason to bring hate to this beautiful song and its sign of peace we were all gathered to hear this beautiful song not hate or criticize it or hate each other just hear this song. why can we just get along ?
I am not religious and don't celebrate the holidays but I love the Christmas songs.
I am not religious at all, but I have to say, Christian church music is very nice; the recording of the choir here, in particular, is very beautiful. The images accompanying are also very beautiful.

Oh man, Oh man, Oh man... Mormon Tabernacle Choir will surely make your day
In this day that Christianity is being threatened on every side it is so important to pull together as brothers and sisters in Christ. I think that is what this song promotes.
My favorite rendition! I grew up listeing to this choir, always beautiful! Thanks for posting this, it's breathtaking!
God Bless America
What a beautiful version of this song. I love the combination of the original German with the English!
Frohe Weihnachten Euch allen.
I love this music. I am not mormon but that doesn't make this any less beautiful. I have listened to them sing christmas music since I was a very young child. So I think this is what christmas should sound like. I like it so much better than any secular christmas music out there.
One of the most moving and haunting versions of this great Christmas carol. The art work is amazing
Merry Christmas!
God became a man in the person of Christ.
Matthew 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
It's a pretty song.
And it was done beautifully.
This is about the music. The art. The beauty. So what if a religion comes with it. It's still beautiful!
Moved me to a heightened emotional state...spectacular performance!
What a beautiful hymn! Makes me really feel the spirit of Christmas which is the spirit of Christ.
It stirs your soul to truth. Thank you.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all. My favorite Christmas song.
i couldnt have stated it better =]

Merry Christmas 2013! Let us not lose focus on what this season is all about and be strong in faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
WOW? i will always hear this, when christmas is 3 weeks away, in our cold days nunavut. best ever.
God bless you all. Give presents to all your Freinds and Family.Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ loudly and forever !
Brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills.
Beautiful as tho the angels themselves are singing!
This is one of the most beautiful arrangements of this piece that I have ever heard!!
This group is amazing!!
This is the first time I have ever heard an arrangement like this. Excellent.
Absolutely beautiful.
Whyzitsotough? Well things are tough when there is little love or peace in a persons life. Things are tough when you devote time to fighting people who have done you no wrong. We are christian.

Seek the truth in all things. Be not afraid.

@pacificsharp Merry xmas to you and yours... I add the full song to my FB page every year and get nothing but praises.
Wonderful*
I second this so much! I cringe when I have to listen to 'Santa Baby' multiple times every Christmas.
beautiful
heavenly!
The scriptures teach about the Savior’s Birth and Second Coming

afsmith1313 As an ex temple worthy member,I dared pull back the curtain to see the great and powerful Oz. Please explain to the good folks where in the Gospels it says that Jesus is a product of intercourse in the pre-existence. Or that all worthy men will become Gods once they pass through the veil as it says in the Book of Mormon. Thats all for now. Need more?
remember the boys of 1914 for they were only boys far from home on christmas
There is a reason that members of the LDS church are encouraged not to bash, with people of other faiths and this message board is a great example of that. Its filled with trash and hate from both sides and ruins the peaceful message of this beautiful song. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Where did you find the pictures in this video? They are very beautiful and life like
my guess greg Olsen not sure though
Punani Princess this is work from different Mormon artists

can you give me the name of the other video please?
Hey! I love this video, but I can't find anywhere else that says that the MOTAB sang this version. Can you tell me how to find it somewhere else?
Andie Miller it’s from motab’s performance with Walter Cronkite. Silent night, holy night. Try Deseret book.
They sang this song with a Christmas Program with Walter Cronkite a few years back...with a story of the truce of WW1
Excelente, tendrán la partitura? por favor.
◑ 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 ◐
@Louceph And yet, couldn't God have done something to protect the innocent?
can everyone stop with the BS comments and enjoy the song
Regardless of what you think, your comment would have been better written without the "s" word. I'm Roman Catholic, too, but I wouldn't try to convince anyone using that type of language. Have a Merry Christmas!
