  • I use to believe in God even when he didn't believe in me. Now I know there is no God, just a warm idea of one. How could there possibly be a God, look around us. If there were a God how, why, would he allow so much pain? BUT yes this song is pretty and even without a belief in God it can still touch my soul.

  • i like this song but not the singers

  • This is really very lovely.

    It brings tears to my eyes......

  • @DejaVuSu Me too Sis. It's so beautiful!

  • Comment removed

  • No the best, the descant is out of this world.

  • This is one of the best christmas carols. :)

  • I'm an atheist and I love this song. It's just a great, really powerful song.

  • nice

    best christmas carol

  • beautiful.. thank you!

  • Take it as myth if you desire. What it means is that the Creator of mankind deigned to inhabit our own flesh--thus ennobling us even in our fallenness. The Lord Himself is as we were in our most vulnerable state. As we are nothing without Him, He (and all that is good, true or beautiful) is nothing without us. Hail, that in the manger of Bethlehem, and in the assent of our virgin mother, our two worlds were joined once more.

  • I haven't gone to church nor have I read the Bible for nearly 10 years now. Maybe it was because of things I've seen and experienced when I was in the Marine Corps. Maybe it was because of the challenges I've faced when I returned home after receiving my honorable discharge. However, hearing this song brought chills down my spine, and I don't know why.

  • this is so wonderful

  • "Born that man no more may die"--My favorite line of the whole thing.

    Actually, the whole 3rd stanza is pretty magnificent.

  • @Aritul I agree.

  • I'm kind of struggling between these Christmas songs I like, and the fact that I don't actually believe in Christ.

  • @yaggayawyaw1 That comes from the same people saying that rock n' roll is the devils music. And those same people said that blues were the devils music before rock n' roll. And those same people would have you believe many dumb ideas.

  • @yaggayawyaw1 Yeah all those Psalms David wrote for instruments would send you straight to hell...Seriously, there is nothing wrong with music in the faith. Those that say so have a messed up understanding of scripture and base such things on very dubious logic.

  • i love this song<3 merry christmas to all, im proud of my religion<3

  • i think this song just brung back my faith

  • @yaggayawyaw1 Only in some branches of Prostantism. In the Bible it says not to worship idles, but some denominations of Christianity have gone as far as to say that even possessing a statue or listening to music is worship. Which, technically, it isn't. It is a tool for worship. That is why in most branches of Christianity, such as Methodism and Catholocism (the two that wrote most Christmas music) still use statues and music. Idoltry is a mindset, not a possession or action.

  • Beautiful, thank you for posting this wonderful video!

  • as a musician,i think it is important for every musician to hear this particular version before performing it simply because today's sheet music often fails to reveal the true biblical feel that this hymn was founded...

  • Honestly/seriously? How could you dislike this? Are you that hateful. This may have some flaws (specially the woodwinds being to loud, outta time n outta key), and there are probly many better versions. But to dislike this reminds me that there are unreasonable haters. Is a shame. This song was made to share love, but you wanna share hate. Sad :>((

  • i think the picture at the end is rediculous! why in the world would jesus hold a cross and look at it in awe like that when he knows full well he will die on the cross

  • @conraddoavil Your a F***. Why are you here?

  • I'm not the most religious person, and I avoid talking about the subject because it fires up such heated debates I'd prefer to avoid, but it's beautiful music like this that makes me appreciate religion, regardless whether it's Christian, Hinduism, Catholisicm, etc. It's art like this that makes the complications worth it.

  • I liked it all the way up until the flute started playing!

  • how about the orchestra version?

    by the way advance merry Christmas to all and i really really like this song!

  • Learning this on the violin <3 Harrrrd but sounds beutiful :)

  • @elisabethkohler33 _christ_mas_ comes from "christ+mass" its revolved around christ. Now, _winter solistice_ is a related celebration. Since its related, its set at the same time. "Yule" is a winter solistice celebration, and scandinavians to this day refer to christmas as "jul"

    its not one thing or the other, its a combination of it. Winter solistice is celebrated anywhere in the world, where winter/summer plays a major part in ancient cultures survival.

  • This was also on my Christmas Cards. For the past three years, I've had Christmas carols on every Christmas Card. Last year, each of my Christmas Cards had carols.

  • I miss christmas :( Im finally at an age where its not about the gifts, just the whole love and passion and friends and family coming together. Im loving this growing up thing:)

  • Glory to the new born king...... DALGLISH!!

  • I'm an atheist, and the wonderful artwork and performance still brought tears to my eyes.

  • belated MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone, by the way Christmas is one of my celebrated event of my life and December is my most favorite month aside from November and April!!

  • Merry Christmas!!

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! And nicely done.

  • Merry Christmas

  • Merry Christmas everyone.

  • This is so beautiful

  • Wonderful. Music tops.Happy Christmas to everyone.

  • this is beautiful.

  • oh yeah and happy christmas 2010.

    2years left people.

    2 years

  • @coldvirus7 2 years until what?

  • @missybleach4 2 years until he comes back

  • @coldvirus7 says who?! if your talking about Christ then your wrong. Cause nobody will know the day of his arrival

  • @coldvirus7 lol prove it

  • @RingLord3 what is faith? :-p

    let's just see

  • @coldvirus7 Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

  • @RingLord3 hebrews 11 is my favorite chapter ever!

  • @RingLord3 Jesus says with faith the size of a mustard seed, you can uproot mulberry trees.

  • @sirhonestharry Just think of the all the stuff could be uprooted with a mulberry tree.

  • @RingLord3 I actually think it's a relationship, a trust that is based on evidence. not dissing you, just to be clear.

  • @kubrox91 I was referring to Hebrews 11:1 it is the biblical definition of faith.

  • @RingLord3 alright, fair enough definition. I'm just trying to create another way to define it so I can shut up those arrogant new atheists like dawkins who say faith is blindly pushing away anything skeptical.

  • @RingLord3 exactly, I heard a good one at church... faith is also believing when you have every reason on earth not to. <3

  • 2:47 little jesus has a gun! yo lil gangsta , dis negro's got it already ^^

  • @coldvirus7 YOU MENTALY SICK.

  • @ClassAct51 you read bible.

    appocalypse.

  • Beautiful work.

  • god bless u all Merry X'mas

  • most excellent-

  • this song deserves more views

  • Merry Christmas! And God bless everyone.

  • My schools choir is doing this song so i was interested in listening to a pro version

  • Blessed Christmas all!

  • Merry Christmas ! 

  • Who hate this song doesn't know the true meaning of christmas....

  • I just wondering I know who the loard is but was he supposed to be born in Bethahelm

  • To Anyone who wrote positive comments and @eggman913 . I am so glad no one has written bad or negative comments. because even if you aren't christian, you should still recognize the spirit and generosity of Christmas. I love Christmas. And it's such a happy time of year.(except the fact that it is cold)For those 12, unless you just don't like the song, I genuinely feel sorry for you. (and if you don't like what I say, don't read my comment)

  • @njr312

    I'm Jewish and even i LOVE Christmas. I believe that Christmas belongs to everyone, not just Christians. After all the concept of Christmas existed hundreds of years before Jesus. I see it as a day for us to look beyond petty differences and instead practice peace, love, joy and happiness. So that we may live together not as enemies but as brothers. So i say to all Christians, fellow Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Buddhists and Hindus. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

  • @Matthiasthesecond I couldn`t agree more,Happy Christmas.

  • Een heel mooi en gevoelig Kerstlied!

    Zo oud en nog zo schitterend

  • how about the ray connif version of this song that's would better

  • You know what? I have put on those lovely christmas carols since beginning of september. And its every year like that. I don't care what neighbors may think, I just need to listen to those wonderful music. They just remind me of christmas with my beloved parents ages back. Oh how I miss them. They are no longer with us. But I will meet them when Jesus comes back. And we will never ever part.

  • This and carol of the bells are my favorite christmas songs. I can't wait til christmas so i can listen to this everyday

  • Its A Beautiful Song, But I Dunno Why It Seriously Gives Me The Creeps, It Just Freaks Me Out

  • @Masterbater1112 I hope there are Christmas trees in Heaven, too. I absolutely love Christmas trees -- they're so special. It's so wonderful to see such nice comments on this video about Jesus and Christmas and this Christmas carol. It's wonderful to know there are others that love the Lord and the season of His nativity as much as I do. God bless you all...

  • I think this is the most beautiful version I've ever heard of this song, and your video is simply awesome. Thank you so much for putting it on Youtube, where I can enjoy it any time I want.

    @Nascar93fan Merry Christmas to you, too, Friend! O:)

  • I know it's less than 5 months away, but Merry Christmas everybody :)!!

  • I am an Atheist but this music is very calming. I like it.

  • Fernando Torres is the new born king!

  • Let's celebrate Christ's birthday every day! Once we are with him, everyday will be a celebration of his love and forgiveness. Maranatha!

  • Here it is now 3 days after Christmas and I am still listening to wonderful Christmas songs like this one. I am saved, saved, saved! I can't explain how wonderful it is to know the Lord and see his hand in your life. I sold my soul to the Carpenter years ago. Please hear me..if you don't know Christ Jesus, call upon him now and be forgiven of your sins and enjoy life with the living God. He is real. He loves you dearly. He died for you. Its your move...

  • @GuruTracey I already have, I hope there are Christmas trees in Heaven!

  • There's always some killjoy around

  • CALAMIS777- Ha ha! How embarrassing, to be so outspoken and so wrong! Here's why it's the 25th. A 4th century pope declared the 25th to be the date of Jesus birth (no one really knows, probably was in the spring). Christianity had recently become legal in the Roman empire.  The pope wanted the biggest Christian festival to coincide with the biggest pagan festival of the year, winter solstice. NOT to incorporate it, but to COMPETE with it. Read up so you don't embarrass yourself further.

  • I don't wanna wake up...

    December 25 is the date that we've CELEBRATED his birthday...

    So what if he wasn't born on that day?

    What are you gonna do, move such a festive time of year to a different time??

    What difference would it make anyways?

    The end result would be that y'all will be lynched...

  • I would like to find out his real birthday..I mean I'd rather MY birthday be celebrated on the right day..or close to it..but I think it would be interesting if someone could research it and figure it out.

    What I wonder is why people don't make such a big deal about Jesus year round, instead of one or two days out of the year.

  • this song is very peaceful

  • Brings back childhood memories. Merry Christmas everyone!

  • christians unite and celebrate

  • Jesus wasnt born on the 25of December ppl

    that was a pagon ritual incorporated into the Catholic faith, like many.

    go do the research instead of just accepting.

    wake up

    if u want to be christian then seek the truth

  • You fail.

    Obviously, the holiday of Christmas is manmade. But, as Christians, we celebrate Christ's birth on that day. And there is nothing in scripture which says we can't do that.

  • No.1 i didint fail as i didnt set out to do anything bar enlighten sum ppl to the fact 25dec is a pagon date. now sum ppl will go and look it up and see themselves

    No2. scripture has nothing to do with it, think up ur own possible reasons as to why all these pagon dates r so related to the christian calender????

    the great deception, mass praying of a false god, maybe??

  • That really didn't make any sense, considering you butchered the English language.

  • go through that and tell me exactly wer my grammer has failed lol.

    dont be silly man. it makes perfect sense

  • you did not even spell grammar correct. fail.

  • @CALIMIST777 so what if he wasn't born on December 25? so what if the church chose dates for celebration that people were already using? i'd call that "redeeming" the date. which brings us to another point do these dates need redeeming? as far as i know, and i haven't checked lately, God made all the dates so all of them are good.

  • This is why many Christians won't celebrate Christmas..my husband and I included. As far as God being false, He's done so much for me, so He's real.

  • @CALIMIST777 ......" Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. "

    " Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. "

  • Jesus' will be done.

  • Happy Birthday my Lord. And Merry Christmas to all of you ^^

  • i.... i tihnk im about to cry :) happy Bday Jesus

  • Thank you.

  • Merry Christmas Everyone

  • This is so relaxing and makes me have a sense of security i love it i like listening to this even when its not christmas it was my grandad's favorite carol so i love it :)

  • Well done, nice video, excellent choice of artwork.

  • mer xmas to alL!!

  • @derekdb2 Who gives a fuck?

  • Merry Christmas! my favorite hymn.

  • great vid, great picture com`pilation,

    . congrats from Mexico

  • People. people. Its Christmas....no arguing about things that don't matter. Just love one another. maybe if we do that the war will end. We will be showing everyone the respect that they were born to have. God loves us all, so don't try to put your brother or sister down.

  • omg i love you you are soo right

  • wisely spoken. i am catholic and love to celebrate the birth of our king. even if you dont believe in jesus,cant we all just come together and celebrate peace forgiveness and good will towards all. god bless you brothers and sisters. and have a great christmas and always remember gods love

  • Exactly.

  • How about all of you that want to school people on crap that dosen't really matter, get a life!

    And for the ignorant half get ure head out of your ass and realize how dumb your debate is...especially on youtube.

  • one of the best versions i've ever heard! beautiful! kudos on the artwork too!

  • Can anyone identify the painting at 1:42?

  • JUST AMAZING XX

  • ok guys this is just a question dont take it on a bad way , is just i always ask my self why is that every character of the bibble has hispanics name , sort of like Maria , jose, jesus ,pedro i mean they live in israel n jerusalem places were names are afkid , or moha plz just comment me back , not here to fight but just wanna know why thx , oh n merry christmas to all

  • Many names como from latin and greek.

  • People change the names to fit their culture. Jesus' name in Hebrew , I think, was Yeshua. Most people in America call his mother Mary and her husband Joseph. Pedro is Peter. Hope that helps. =)

  • yea u are right thx for the info

  • Yup, Yoshiling pretty much covered it. Although I have always wondered why don't we just keep the original names, why don't we call him Yeshua, heh WWYD. I suppose perhaps we can't pronounce Yeshua correctly, or it's just too much effort so we make English (in my case English that is) names instead.

  • incorrect; spanish names ORIGINATED from biblical names, obviously not the other way around.

    jose = joseph

    jesu = jesus

    mary = marie/maria

    pedro = peter

  • BIBLE's names didnt come from spanish names.... it would be the other way around. Because first there was God. It wasnt first there were the spanish people.

  • Well I believe that God is the first. I mean just check out the Holy Bible.

    (He only left you basic instructions before leaving earth!)

  • Kent hovind is a joke.

  • Merry Christmas! thank you for a beautiful video.

  • Merry Christmas God Bless

    RIP JP Never 4get U

  • this is my favourite christmas song.

  • Sorry, I thought Anglicans were orthodox. Wow, I've been a Christian for 35 years....and haven't studied a lick? You must have me confused with someone who doesn't walk with God. You must be Born Again of the Spirit to enter the Kingdom of God. Let's try to bring this thing together instead of apart. The journey is a long one and each of us are at different places along the path......JUST ONE PATH NOT MANY! "I'm the Way, Truth, and Life". My orthodox buddy.

  • Praise to  God,,,,,,amazing love xxx

    babsie love you my \\jesus x

  • My wife and I were confirmed last Mother's Day in the Episcopal Church...Our first Christmas as Anglicans. We have been Christians for over 30 years, but feel connected with something that gives flavor, fragerance and flesh to our faith...The Incarnation....God's Holy Eucharist "Don't leave Church without it". Merry Christmas and God's peace.

  • If you want authentic Christianity go to an orthodox church

  • If by orthodox you mean subsist on bread and water and live in a desert cave.

    The only authentic Christianity is that which is shared between God, Jesus, and the one doing the praying.

    Any true Christian knows this simple lesson.

  • Actually no that's not what I meant at all.

  • God reigns in every church. wherever people gather for Him, that is where authentic Christianity lies. He loves all people from all religions, and we all have out faults. I love you brother or sister.

  • Vielen Dank für diese sehr gelungene Video. Die Bilder sind sehr gut ausgesucht. Und die Information hab ich mir gleich abgeschrieben. Danke.
