@chlobosumm4: 3 atheists. :-) 

[superallynumber1]

@theocratickingdom30 Not everyone has to be religious to enjoy this song. I'm an atheist and I do.

[topcityres]

@superallynumber1 You can't be an atheist. It's impossible. It's Illogical and could never happen.

[chlobosumm4]

[AthosAmo]

Two people are... not going to have me refer to them in a disapproving way.

[300Sarge]

I am somewhat religious, and this is my favourite hymn ever! It really brings out the christmas spirit and it's true meaning; Christ died for us, we should celebrate his birth with our families, our friends, and never forget why He died on that cross. May the lord bless us all.

[TheFlutification]

[MsCaLiDreAmer]

What a wonderful choir, they seem to have the perfect voices to sing this song.

[Blackmoor6]

I visited Kings College, Cambridge two weeks ago and attended Evensong. Everything about the choir was most impressive and this recording maintains a very high standard.

[ShesJustALittleCrazy]

Holy crap! This is definitely how a choir should sound.

[pokemon9982]

what does the words mean at 0:43?

[driekorg]

"Why does He lie in such a bad circumstance

Where the ox (a (usually castrated) bull) and ass (a donkey) are feeding"

[kingjamesonly]

yup that pretty much somes it up, why the king of glory is in such poor estate 2Co 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

[avatar53959]

@pokemon9982 it meens that he was born poor conditions because he was born in a stable

[pokemon9982]

Thanks!
