I had the distinct pleasure of going out for a walk one evening in Hawaii with friends. We heard the soaring voices of the Hallelujah Chorus and went to explore. There in a large church much like this, we stood in awe listening to the congregation sing. It brings tears to my eyes to hear it again. What an amazing chorus. The power and beauty of this congregation singing the Hallelujah Chorus is truly what Christmas is all about. Thank you for sharing it.
Amazing, tongan singing the hallelujah in the tongan language, I wondered if any other country do, most Tongan church sings that song, imagine if they all sing togather, that would be awesome, praising the God togather,
Love Tongans naturally ready to sing impromptu unrehearsed. The thing is most Tongans in the Methodist demonination know it off by heart, their part they sing in whether it be soprano alto, tenor or bass. Natural coming together of beautiful harmonies. It such a powerful piece of music and lifts everyone singers and listeners to another level ... you truly feel you are in heaven
its common in large tongan churches....the format of the church has areas for royals to sit (left side of the church) and also to the right which seats church ministers and also special guests
Wow what memories this building/chior brings me . Going to this church for 5yrs as a akonofo ma'u at QSC 1994 to 1999 . I would get pinched for falling asleep during the malanga . Taua Koloamatangi I see you riding your Harley bike to start fkmalohi sino for the sipoti Ofa lahi atu malo e manatu melie .
It's not how this church or that church do it best then the other, the whole point is the God of our creation the Creator is up lifted and honour, to the highest, He who is our adoration and praise for ever and aver, He who gave the voice, who plan the occasion, He who bless everyone that sings and us who enjoyed the praise of our God, the living God, image if you sing hallelujah to an idol, it won't understand as we know that it is a dead objects, it is.the biggest jokes for mankind, and a shame, BUT God already informed us in the Holy Bible, LET GOD BE PRAISED FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN.
Dose anyone know who those people are standing in the corner, to the right of the alter? Is that reserved for important people or something? Very nice, job well done by the way!!

Fiji churches (Methodists) usually sing the English version. I think there's no Fijian version but I stand to be corrected.
Shalom from wesleyan church of Indonesia 🙏🙏
what we have to remember is that there are different churches singing....they didn't practise this song together so fantastic job to everyone!
Beautifulllllllllllllllll- the power of the high soprano....massive - bless the Lord
Incredibly so beautiful!!

Its alright, I think the soprano and alto got lost between 3.35 and 3.40.
But big points for winging it.
