  • This is my favorite song to listen to when I'm high. It's also my favorite song to fall asleep to in church :^)

  • Voices and singing superb! Who is this choir singing acapella?

  • thumbs up if you are watching this in 29 december 2011 :D

  • #NowPlaying これほどクリスマスに毒されたクリスマスはなかった。飯喰って帰­ります。ではまた...

    (Posted by Youtube Stream for iPhone (yst.me) on behalf of keitaroco at twitter)

  • Everyone is right. The song is beautiful and beautifully sung. Mythical and real are not so separate as some uncreative minds see it. The House of David is real. Yehoshuah of Nazareth and his historic teachings are as real as anything from those times. The myths are very real, too. They have real power, and real meaning, and real personal emotive sentiment. Virgin birth does happen in nature. And miracles also happen -- like when people feel love and peace. It's real is you feel it, baby.

  • I love this song... :D

  • to God be the Glory...!

  • Definitely a good christmas song.

  • Praise the Lord

    As Baby Jesus Is Born

    I Shall Worship

  • I dislike the commercials that you-tube has to put on. That's what TV is for. Once again corporate America has to have it's own way again Merry Christmas to you greedy rich people too. No matter what we as Christians need to love them too.

  • love it when choirs sing this song, its so touching...and i love this song..i've covered it as part of this Christmas series i'm doing called "12 Days Before Christmas", you should check it out, the videos are on my channel :-)

  • This is a nice version even though it is largely about a mythical virgin who mysteriously gave birth to a mythical savior.

  • @TheCobalt100 Fine, thank you, now move on. There are hundreds of other Christmas carols on You Tube that where you can leave your oh so superior and intellectual comments that "prove" (to you and no one else) that you're more enlightened than the rest of us. Carols touch on faith, but also on family, childhood, & memories.People who have to mock beliefs which others hold dear, (atheist or religious fanatic) and who do this in the context of a CHRISTMAS CAROL to boot, are losers.

  • @lichtbroeder I'd ignore it. Check out his page. the guy posts a youtube comment like every 5 minutes. Either he's lonely or he's selling something.

  • Where can I get more from this choir? Who are they? This is the best version ive ever heard, They are awesome =) I want their album!

  • "in fields where they laying keeping their sheeps on a cold winter's night that was so deep" (I think the songwriter missed on that part because it's out of logic. Unless their sheeps were eating snow flakes) lol

  • I heard this on Doubt. It was magnificent.

  • Sing Along with Mitch

  • @narrowgate777 I was thinking the same thing.

  • This is from the Christmas album I grew up with--the Mitch Miller Band.

  • Sorry, who is the singer of this video ? I prefer this one that frank sinatra version .. anyone now who is the singer? :) thanks

  • Music is beyond any religion. Religion is petty compared to the mystic extravagance of combining tones into chord structures and creating an emotional experience that affects all humans universally. It doesn't matter what the lyrics say. They could be talking about kings, prophets, gods, whatever. All of those are false things to believe in. The real beauty lies in the music itself. That is what I worship.

    Music is beyond any religion.

  • @ArcadianGenesis duuuuurrr atheism....let me call the Waaabulance so don't bitch yourself to death you shill. The only reason you said that, was to bash Christians okay Stalin jr.

    Don't come on youtube of all places on the internet to tell people what they can and can not believe.

  • @xxwaterboy1xx It is not my intention to denounce yours or anyone's faith. Rather, it was my intention to express my deep sense of respect and wonder for this music, while also pointing out that its beauty has a natural basis in the world of bodily experience. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and have a great life.

  • @ArcadianGenesis Kudos for that civil reply.

  • @xxwaterboy1xx Wow, really? Stalin jr? Make sure you actually understand what someone is saying before responding, moron.

  • @ArcadianGenesis

    This guy knows where its at.

  • @ArcadianGenesis That denounces the power of language though.

  • @Pignoah How so?

  • It s one of the strongest music ever especialy sang by a choir, a really wonderfull female voice or Elvis

  • PRAISE THE LORD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I love this song.

  • 好聽

  • @emily8958peter 很好听

  • noel, noel, noel noeeEEEEEELL!

  • who dislike this has no soul in him!! :D

  • well said

  • eventhough i'm not christian but i love dis kind of choir since i was a kid

  • This is exactly what I've been searching for. If I close my eyes I can see my grandmother's old house, even though it's long gone and the last Christmas I had there was when I was three or so. I miss it so much. It's amazing that this song can bring it all back though.

  • Even though I am not Christian and nobody has the same religion and beliefs, just look at and listen to all the works of art that came from faith and spirit. I am a Buddhist myself, but I feel that other songs from a church, a mosque, a street, a temple, they all make me feel warm and fuzzy inside... And I heard this song when I was a baby watching Tom and Jerry. It was ever since my lullaby including my mom's. :)

  • @MyIpodIzMyLife Buddhist huh? That's pretty cool. I'm LDS my self but I take an interest in other religions. I've never really learned much about Buddhist. It seems cool though. :)

  • Despite being atheist, I must admit I'm glad Christianity exists otherwise we wouldn't have such moving music.

  • @UnitedColorsofTom The great art, music and architecture of Christianity are the cultural inheritance of all people. These things connect some people to God, but they also connect us to each other.

  • my favorite part is the very begging before the singing starts. It reminds me of when I was a little kid, my mom bought me this wind up music box that sang this song. Every year during christmas she would bring it out, I swear I would wind it up a million times and listen to it. But I distinctly remember I would put it right beside me when i slept. The beggining of this song reminds me of right when my eyes would start closing as I fell asleep... Probably the most peaceful sleep ive ever had

  • im looking for an old version,around the 1930 sung by a man,lot of swaying

  • I always feel so happy and peaceful when listening to this song. That's probably why I really am so very fond of christmas!

  • This is a song for good men to be good. fuck the man in the sky that causes more harm than good. It's time we listen with out the ivisble man, we;d get that we'd do a pretty good job alone

  • Religion is a FARSE designed to control man! Face it.. Eternal death follows life. Make the most of your life now, while you are alive. Don't foolishly adhere to blind faith becuase you like the idea of living forever in paradise.. aint gonna happen chums!

  • @skeamz89 u came here  just write that?....man, thats sad.

  • @kymme88 Why would you assume that?! I was listening to the song and decided to enlighten you church-goers. You clearly dislike what I said, and rather than giving it an educated and fair reply you lose your cool and get rude. Your attempt at insulting me.. is sad.

  • Comment removed

  • @kymme88

    I totally agree with you. But, to be honest, he didn't insult you.

  • @skeamz89 I 100% agree, but i don't quite see how you think that comment is gonna help our cause. I like this song and I'm an atheist. I save my arguments for appropriate settings. Just angrily ranting any where you see something Christian makes atheists look whiny and unreasonable.

  • @skeamz89 Someone or Something must have really hurt you in the past for you to write this.

  • @skeamz89 I can see what you're saying here. However, most of the people on here who have attacked your opinion are Christian, I assume, and therefore they're not going to listen and they're going to attack when they feel attacked. I know you might not have been attacking them but that's how they felt. I see your side. I'm just giving insight as to why they may be doing this. I don't mean to make you feel attacked, just giving help. :)

  • you know we have nothing to take away our sins but god can

  • god is the lord imagine if we went to heaven

  • Boring rendition although sung well

  • Personally I prefer the older, traditional christmas songs like this one.

    I look for them on youtube and they are all remakes by some soulless pop diva hack,

    and I cant find the authentic versions. its depressing

  • Listening this is beyond description, its the Spirit of Christmas that engulfs you, but I wonder why the Jehovaha's Witnesses, the Worldwide Church of Armstrong, the Iglings in the Phil, don't believe in Christmas?

  • Cântare la Aniversarea Naşterii lui Hristos!

  • nevynn2112 - excellent christmas greetings for me this year, thank you very much

  • Excellent performance, especially of the male voices during the chorus.

  • Buon Natale a tutti!

  • Google Hells best kept secret

  • God bless the world to make it not end in 2012 because the scientist say that it is bacause the sun will become worthless and without the sun everything dies

  • Merry Christmas and thank the Lord!!!! :D

  • Merry Christmas to everyone out there(:

  • good thanksgiving

  • born is the king of israel unto us!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!

  • Merry Christmas! I love Jesus and everyone in the World!

  • Merry Christmas, and have a very safe wonderful new year.

  • Merry Christmas

  • @lenamai Hello, and Merry Christmas to you, too! :)

  • i love this song and jesus - merry xmas :)

  • Brings back memories. Used to sing this in primary school.

    Christmas is such a great time of year.

    Merry Christmas All and a Happy New Year!

  • I am actually proud that my name is Noel and I am proud to be a Catholic

  • @Hatredismypride my name is noel to!

  • @Hatredismypride If your a catholic you should know GOD hates PRIDE God is the one who gets all the Glory! Pride is a sin against GOD we should walk humbly before Almighty God!

  • @Hatredismypride kind of ironic that you're catholic and you're supposed to love everyone, and your username is "hatredismypride"

  • @Hatredismypride This is an Anglican song.

  • @Hatredismypride Man up.

  • @Hatredismypride

    Yet your name is a total opposite. Hated is my pride? Very Catholic.

  • @Hatredismypride Yes, the true Church founded by Christ. :)

  • im not religious, i justg listen to this song for the beauty of those peoples voices, i love it

  • Nice video...but somebody has to speak up for the English language...."Shepherds" is spelled that way, with no "a"....Shepard is a mis-spelling

  • @PhillySouth Kudos to you! Somebody has to speak up for the english language. It's losing the battle.

  • ...if there is a song for Christmas this has to be it and nothing will beat a pure choir version... :')

  • MAY PEACE AND LOVE AND HAPPINESS BE BLESSED TO ALL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND LETS REMEMBER THOSE WHO DONT HAVE WHAT WE HAVE  MAY WE BE MEEK AND HUMBLE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND TRY TO HELP OUT SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE THAN US... :)

  • However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

     The teaching of the unchanging god

  • Comment removed

  • @Sentho The teaching of an unchanging God to a changing world.....

  • To quote a bible: "the water monster is right cat-man. They are among us".

    Let us remember this holiday isn't about presents or trees, but about the water monster teaching the ancient hebrews of our savior.

  • @strongman17 what the frat?

  • @strongman17 All hail the mightiest of the mighty, the great water monster!

  • This is a beautiful rendition of this song. Thanks for posting it!

    Merry Christmas to all.

  • du bisch böös hübsch <3

  • Merry Christmas all from the parish of St Andrew, Bandra , Bombay, India. A little early , no doubt but it's been done before :)

    @radroofer : The Bible is not the final authority on our religion , rather a combination of the Bible , reason and the teachings of the Church.

  • @dmps000111 I would have to respectfully disagree with your statement brother, I believe that ALL doctrines should be based on the bible and the bible only, men are sinfull and make mistakes, while the unchangable, eternal word of God should be the very foundation of all beliefs not tradition, that was the problems with the pharisies. God bless and Merry Christmas

  • @danieladventist I clicked thumbs down and then regretted it- I disagree, but I have no problem with the way you expressed your opinion. I don't know how to un-thumbs-down without giving thumbs-up, and I wont go that far. My argument is this: If God directed sinful men to write down and compile the scriptures, couldn't he also direct them in some of their doctrines?

  • @DonnaFlorida5 Well I understand your point; even if he did though, the doctrines would have to based on scripture and not opinoins. Look for example at the rosary. Now I believe that there will be tons of catholics in heaven so bear with me. Back to the rosary, the bible says do not pray in vain repitition. Also not to pray to anyone but me, well half the rosary consists of repitions of hail mary's! if you've been into a catholic church, there are tons of statues which require on to bow to. :)

  • If all people loved instead of hated, then the world would be like The Garden Of Eden again, but when The Lord comes again, all who do not believe will finally understand.

  • Although this is a bit early, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Forget the hateful comments, forget the disbelief's! Embrace the spirit of Christmas and enjoy the jolly season!

    Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have a splendid day! :)

  • @130Y Well done! Merry Christmas From North Borneo!!!

  • I don't believe that jesus is born on december 25 and any of catholic preachings but one thing I love is christmas cause its such a beautiful event and it brings great memories for children and at least for once a year violence is toned down and love is celebrated.

  • @Jeromepsy001 It is indeed a beautiful time, however i would encourage you to look deeper into the meaning of Christmas, I think you'll find the "love" being celebrated was God's gift to man. I'll pray for you. Regardless of your beliefs have a very merry Christmas :)

  • Comment removed

  • @DragonJoey3 thanks, I'll pray for you too :) and merry christmas

  • It is somewhat of a shame that a song such as this must be made a platform for religious argument. In any case, I do not attend church, save on Christmas Eve, and I am not devout in Christian belief, but this music makes my heart ache with nostalgia and love. It is, for me, a most fond memory in that I am with my family at the time of year when people must place aside hatred and anger.

  • Brothers and sisters, as I scrolled down to look at the comments I find constant fighting! This is christmas, look at how you are all fighting, the bible calls for unity not division! Weather you believe in catholicism, or your a baptist or (like me) adventist, like the apostles god winked at their ignorance so just keep in the back of your mind GOD IS THE JUDGE!!! Stop the fighting how can you listen to christmas music and fight. What would Jesus do? God bless

  • Hate to pick bones but you all appear to be discussing faith, which is not a religion. I have no problem with faith, any faith, as a means of enabling man to cope with unanswered questions about life and death. Religion, on the other hand, is mans use of faith to control and oppress his fellow man. I do have a problem with that. Enjoy your faiths and the peace they bring you, but note that man's greatest works and worst atrocities have been committed in the same cause.

  • Nice Christmas!

  • I LIKE BOTH SONG AND VIDEO!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  • "The Very First Christmas Gift" by Miyeh, is about the true meaning of, and the reason for, the most celebrated holiday of the year: Christmas! For many years, some in our society have been trying to erase the true meaning of Christmas. Check this song at youtube. Merry Christmas!

  • Roarte bună interpretare!

  • good song peaceful

  • I used to love and look forward to Christmas...then I grew up and realized Jesus and God aren't real. The whole thing is a ridiculous commercial enterprise based on the silliest of all fairy tales. Here's to "The Holiday Season" quickly coming and going.

    At least Xmas is on the decline...

  • @TSM8088 I almost feel bad for you, but you are past the age of reason so it is entirely your faulty logic to blame. If you don't believe because of the "logic" that is inherent in atheism, look up St. Thomas Aquinas' five proofs for the existence of God. If you still don't believe in God, you have no reasoning or logic.

  • @Archangel777Catholic No, I've simply evolved past the childish belief in fairy tales. In fact, I have read Aquinas, & St. Augustine, & Alighieri, Emerson, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, & many others. The need to maintain your belief in "God" is nothing more than a barrier to fear. A person of "faith" should not be preaching lessons on reason & logic.

    "The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.' -- Shaw

  • @TSM8088 Okay, well I have exposed you to the true religion that is Catholicism, what you choose after that is on your soul. I pray that you will feel the love and grace that is the Triune God. Have a great Advent and a Merry Christmas! Maybe you can ask for understanding of God and better books to use as your reading than Alighieri (whose writing is not accepted) and Dostoevsky (a Protestant). Again, I almost feel bad for you.

  • @Archangel777Catholic So self-righteous...and deluded...and presumptuous. What gives you the right to "pray" for me? You have the right and the legal obligation to do nothing for me unless I ask you to.

    If I find that you have been "praying" for me and if "God" visits me or "works in his ways" for me, without my consent, I'm afraid I'll have to take legal action and get a restraining order imposed against both of you.

  • @TSM8088 There was no self-righteousness, I admit that I am a sinner and at that one of the worst. I know that I am not deluded, I have proved to myself and at least ten others that Catholicism must needs be the only true religion. I also did not presume anything but the truth. I have no "right" to pray for you but I do have the privilege as a Christian. And sarcasm does not prove any point with your poorly formulated argument about legal precedence over God. Read some Cicero once in a while.

  • @Archangel777Catholic ouch.... just just totally burned him like a heretic

  • @Archangel777Catholic whoa! ouch! You just burned him like a heretic.

  • @Archangel777Catholic if catholicism was the only true religion, then we'd all be stuck in the dark ages. I'm not saying it's backward, but you can't just discredit all other religions just because you think catholicism is 'superior' somehow. There are many religions that predate christianity (i.e. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.). You need to realize that there are other ways of worshiping God other than Catholicism.

  • @Fishsticks187 It is simply what I know as the truth and I wish that others could know it as well. It is a shme that so many are led astray.

  • @Archangel777Catholic You are deluded I'm afraid. No religion is superior to another, and you cannot say that what you believe is what definately is!!! What you believe and what is fact are very different things.

  • @dezboss You are stupid, though I am not afraid of that, I will readily admit it. I KNOW and have PROOF that my religion is the one true. It has become a fact for me and millions of others. Logical proof: St. Thomas Aquinas' five proofs for the existence of God. It is your decision in the end but I will willingly do my duty to inform you of the truth.

  • @Archangel777Catholic I suppose you've had a private talk with god on this matter? You have a right to believe what you wish to, you have no right to say it makes you and your religion superior to anyone and patronise others so.

    Freak alert.

  • @dezboss Actually, I have experienced a rather sacred meeting with the Holy Spirit through the power of Eucharistic Adoration. I have every right to say that I believe my religion to be the one true religion, but I admit that I have no right to patronize others' religion. However, I never did so. I also never said that I was in any way superior to others. Please, next time, actually look at what I said before you criticize me. God bless.

  • @Archangel777CatholicHate to pick bones but you all appear to be discussing faith, which is not a religion. I have no problem with faith, any faith, as a means of enabling man to cope with unanswered questions about life and death. Religion, on the other hand, is mans use of faith to control and oppress his fellow man. I do have a problem with that. Enjoy your faiths and the peace they bring you, but note that man's greatest works and worst atrocities have been committed in the same cause.

  • @Archangel777Catholic You have had a personal meeting with the holy spirit? Yes of course you did. I'm afraid that is utterly ridiculous.

  • @dezboss I take no sides on this matter. However, he does have a right to say what he wishes, because 1, he can; 2, this is America (I assume); and 3, this is the internet lol. Now whether or not he should say anything....

  • @OramAndy Excuse me but I come from England not America.

  • @dezboss Same thing. Article 10 protects freedom of speech in your country.

  • @Archangel777Catholic Getting people to see your point of view is best done without calling them "stupid". My advice, convince/educate people about St. Thomas' 5 proofs, stay calm and do not be angry, anger will do you no good.

  • @TSM8088 Dude ... the people who are listening to this song are in one of three groups. One - they're listening because they simply like it the damn song. Two - they are Christians listening to a song of their faith. Or Three - people like you who are obviously trying to antagonize everybody else here for reasons that escape me.

    You wana be and Atheist? Thats fine by me. Live and let live, as far as I'm concerned. Just dont be an ass about it.

  • @KnightWolf214 Mind your own business. If you're that thin-skinned and can't handle differing opinions then youtube probably isn't the place for you..

  • @TSM8088 Having a different opinion is one thing, but your just arguing for the sake of arguing. You know that the majority of the people looking at this video are Christian, so your just instigating arguments like an ass! Your starting fights for no reason, and acting like a douchbag to everyone who has a different opinion that YOU!

    You want to be a dick for no reason, then fuck off somewhere else. Besides, this is the INTERNET, any post made by ANYONE is EVERYONE'S buisness.

  • @KnightWolf214 Wow... I think you've made it abundantly clear just who the "douchbag" and "dick" is. Just 19 years old and a mouth like that.... I hope all "Chistians" don't behave like you, and that they are more accepting and respectful of other people's differing beliefs and morals.

    You have a lot of growing up to do.

  • @TSM8088 I would appreciate that comment, but I sense a bit of hypocrisy. I'm fine with your religious non-beliefs, but please, convey them in a more appropriate place. A video that is only trying to promote peace and love is not a place to argue about religion. Don't worry, I won't try to convert you like other ignorant and self-righteous Christians and I'm certainly not going to pray for you - I'm just asking as politely as I can to take your arguments elsewhere.

  • @TSM8088 Listen, I'm just trying to get the point across that your acting like an asshole. Your starting fights for no reason and your doing it through a youtube comment on a christmas video. You have to think about that kind of thing.

    "More than half the people that look at this video will most likely be Christian, hm, I think I'll start a religious debate!"

    Besides, like I said, I dont have a problem with you having a different belief than me, its just that your being an ass about it.

  • less than 40 seconds ago I was lost. No religion and questioning the existince of man. And now I have found God. True Story

  • @EurodanceFantasy I'm very happy for you. God bless you and i prey you have a happy life.

  • Merry Christmas to one and all, may the coming year be full of hope happiness. love joy and peace for everyone on this planet.

  • @conroyp2007 Hope you have a great Christmas, and a magnificent new year!

  • @EurodanceFantasy In that case, and in any other you find yourself in His presence, Very Merry Christmas. May His Grace abound abundantly all the days of your life.

  • @EurodanceFantasy God Bless you. May you Love Jesus from now and forever, Amen.

  • @EurodanceFantasy The only person I know of who has converted that quickly was either an impressionable little kid or Saul (who became Paul). I personally enjoy having no religion, and I enjoy questioning the existence of man. In my honest opinion, that isn't being 'lost'. That's being 'philosophical'.

  • @EurodanceFantasy Cool Story, Bro.

  • 34 days to go and its christmas day again. merry christmas to all, and pls dont forget the true meaning of christmas.

  • I LOVE this song and +Jesus+

  • SuperSweaterVest: You're judgmental, self-righteous, and yet has the nerve to preach how to practice one's faith, its you that needs tons of prayers or even gargle bucket full of holy to water to wash away your preachy attitude

  • lichtbroeder: I also left m y church recently, but like you, held unto, and appreciated, its art, architecture and rituals......MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Philippines, City of Surigao

  • It's about that time of the year when I start listening to this video again. I've been doing it for three years now, every Christmas.

    Once again, thank you for sharing.

  • It seems that the first part of the song is the only one with the lyrics in it...haha XD

  • Very nicely done.

    Check out SHEENA WILLIAMS the first Noel on youtube

    very nicely done as well.

  • i am sorry that i have left organized religon, but i still pray on a regular basis. these songs really touch me. they remind me that there is a larger purpose to my religion...other believers. i get teary-eyed hearing christmas songs and watching it's a wonderful life because they encapsulate the true meaning of christianity, which is helping others and caring for your fellow man. i am a 23 year old who has been plenty smug enough to realize my life is emptier without Christ in it

  • @league2803 - *plenty smug in the past five years, but realizes my life is empier without Christ in it

  • may the blessed savior shine his grace upon all of you.... amen.

  • My favorite Christmas song. 

  • Beautiful!

  • Beutifful song Jesus saved us all by laying down his life he is that awsome and I hope that God Forgives thoose who clicked the dislike button

  • i love jesus

  • Cheers to a wonderful world, with happiness for everyone. =)

  • Religion has given far more good than bad. It was the reason we first became civilized, is the source of most of our culture, and has given us morals to guide us. And, while i am christian, i believe this is true of all religions. All cultures know that there is a God that has wus and attempted to guide us through out our history. I actually aadmire a lot about islam. Christmas is my favorite holiday. You can't get a more joyous occassion than the birth of humanity's saviour

  • hahaha my names Noel this is my favorite song!

  • Hey!!! I love the voices for this. Check my video out if you like acoustic guitar. One of my fav xmas songs.

  • hail satan but this song is still rad

  • I'm Catholic!

  • Religion = shitty.

    This music = amazing.
