  • I could not but upload this great version of this popular carol. I especially enjoyed the organ interlude.
    This is part of the Christmas Eve Service of Eucharist at Westminster Abbey, broadcast live on BBC One on Tuesday, 24th of December 2013.

    Thank God for the Anglican Tradition. They have preserved the holiness, the sacreness and the reverence deserved by our beloved Saviour. Above all the grandeur and splendour pours forth from Heaven. The organ overwhelms in heavenly majesty. As for the choir it's angelic.

      Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, not everyone who says to Jesus Lord, Lord, will enter into heaven, but only those who do the will of the Father in heaven, Jesus started the ground work and showed us how to do it, read the new testament.

    As a Dutch Roman Catholic I have to say that I find the Anglican Worship of God and His holy Birthgiver most wonderful and inspiring, Thank you graciously and may God save your gracious Queen! Your courageous stubborness in our darkest hour when all hope seemed lost is not forgotten over here in the Netherlands. We revere your fallen heroes, especially here around Arnhem the town where my father saw the Angels of Freedom land from the sky and where I was born just south of the John Frost bridge. We honour the British and the Free Polish heroes. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. Thank you.

      I mean the list of classic Christmas carols isn't that big, so most of the Christmas carols are "one of the greatest" if you actually know them. And a carol by definition is sacred. If it's not sacred, it's not a carol, it's a Christmas song, or worse, a holiday song. But yes, for me this is the quintessential carol. I don't my favorite necessarily, but it's the exemplar somehow, perfect on every way.
      Gotta say, some of the lesser known stuff is just bangin as well. I didn't know that medieval Christmas music was an available genre until last year, and some of that is really good stuff, and a couple of my favorites are from the shape note tradition, Star In The East is one, Babe of Bethlehem is another. Sherburne and Milford. And I think it's a newer composition in the old style, but the song Glory Shone Around in the Shenandoah Harmony (and the Cooper Sacred Harp) goes hard, literally.

      It is the Catholic lyrics being used in the Hymn. Both Anglicans and Catholics have a lot of similarities, but they also have a good number of differences. But I do consider them as Authentic Christian Churches unlike the money making scam so called Mega Churches run by pastors who are only in it for money.

Let Him in, man.it won’t hurt, you’ll feel a peace that you’ve NEVER felt before. Look up at the sky at night. How far away, they stay in place. Planets revolve around the sun, like the Earth does.But they don’t collide.
      Look at a baby. Tiny little human. Imagine creating such a miracle. It just IS, my man. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart (not brain) and lean not to your OWN understanding. don’t try to de-code the IT . If we had the intelligence of God our Creator, we wouldn’t NEED Him. He wants us to love Him. Let go, and let God I’d the truth. Merry Christmas!

      St Paul instructs us to speak and use language "understood by the people" - your argument denies the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit by assuming God can only be approached in Latin. Did Jesus, his family or his followers speak Latin?

      Rational Raven Right. You mean like the time when he said that you are to choose him over family and that if you didn't hate your family, you weren't worthy? Or perhaps the time he chased people out of the temple with a whip? Or the parable where he expressed desire for his enemies to be killed in front of him? Or when he didn't know when figs are in season so he threw a temper tantrum and killed the tree? Or where he said that if you aren't with him, you are against him? Or where he turns his back on his mother and family? Or where he advocates thought crime? Or how about the very idea that you will endure torment in an awful place that he created for the crime if not believing in him as a god? It's almost as if you haven't read his story.
