The Bishops Wife (The Boys Choir)

[ladamyre1]

We join with them in adoration,

We bore to Thee our supplication,

That Thou wouldst grant us Lord,

Salvation

[CrankyOldster]

This film is so exquisite. How simply and subtly Dudley's powers are shown here, with the summoning hand of an angel disguised as ordinary choral cues. No magical special effects, other than Gregg Toland's remarkable lighting of Cary Grant's face so that it is luminous, irresistible and angelic.

This scene would bring a tear to a glass eye!

This movie has become a Christmas tradition in our family; we never miss it, and this scene always makes me tear up. "Oh Word of God, for us incarnate !"

[lynnepowys]

Thank you. Love this movie!

[knkspence]

This is my all time favorite Christmas carol, but I've never heard it anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and listen. It never fails to give me chills!

I have been looking for this for 30 years. the sound these boys make is simply beautiful. Do anyone know the name of this song? I would love to hear this one sung more. It is just so beautiful.

The song "O Sing to God" by Charles Gounod is also known as "Noel."

[Mustel1887]

Thank you for posting this, it is one of my very favorite films. The music is by Charles Gounod, can anyone identify the title or how to buy the music? Cheers.

Every once in a while I just pop this movie in. It's so tender and gentle. Everyone in it gives a sensitive performance.  It's kind. Sort of peaceful. I love the choir.

[elmerschild]

this movie and Penny Serenade are my favorite Cary Grant movies. thanks

[qiph]

Glad Im not the only one who cant hold back the tears at this scene - in fact the whole film leaves me a blubbering wreck each time I watch it

[lorrainewands]

Every single time I listen to this song, I get chills and cry. It's so angelic and moving!

[moosefart]

[leejohn70]

A beautiful song sang beautifully by The Mitchell Boychoir.

A wonderful Christmas film.

[beaglemusic]

This is my favorite scene in one of my most favorite movies. When the heavenly chorus enters, I cry EVERY time.

[stancoleite]

One of the best scenes in the history of movies! Thanks!

[mikeylasagna1]

I cry everytime at the beauty of this song. I love the end of the song where are a few seconds of silence so that you can take in the solemnity of the words and music you just were enveloped in.

[buzzbaybear]

I've always loved this piece (Gounoud's "O sing to God")

[SpaceComics]

Thanks for posting. Scenes like this (and the ice skating scene) make The Bishop's Wife one of the best films of it's kind, one of the best films period.
