There’s few likes considering the view. The reason is because we’re so mesmerised at the different strands of beauty here, we’re blown away.

[@tammychapman3150]

Every year around this time I listen to this over and over, with tears going down my face. I love it, it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[@oldtimedrumcorps]

In this rolling year of profound distress take heart that the Lord shows his blessings in the darkest of times , this is one of those luminaries .

[@amyloredo5253]

This is just so gorgeous. They sound like the angels singing from heaven ❤️❤️❤️

[@Cal-cz6zg]

Can’t agree more, thanks

[@mwallace826]

I saw the Vienna Boys Choir sing this at a Christmas concert, my daughter & I were in tears, I love sharing this with her, thank you!

[@siddhantgupta8240]

In chicago! I was there :)

[@michaelcasey6085]

Could there be anything more beautiful than this? . . .

[@oldtimedrumcorps]

first time I heard this was with my son , Christmas shopping, traveling in my car and he said he heard this at his college and it could make him cry . I understood , I realized his heart was true and confirmation of His blessing on us both was complete. I told my son I would always remember this moment as the Fathers Christmas 2016 gift to both of His children.

Very Touching - Rings Precious and True \o/

[@christopherschumacher8091]

I recently discovered this song when the St. Olaf Choir performed it. This song has such a dreamy ambience, the harmonies are incredible. Absolutely beautiful!

[@nforton8491]

[@samanthawilson2760]

[@dashriprock8596]

One of the most glorious pieces I've ever heard. Moreover it was an absolute joy to sing. This man really knows how to write for the voice.

[@mgvan]

It just doesn't get any better than this.

[@wendelle]

You're right, it actually doesn't x

[@eugeniomorais7041]

Mr. Kim Arnesen, for your amazing songs, i though that you was an angel in human shape. Absolutely beautiful! Greetings from Brazil.

[@patbennett8728]

Such a beautiful piece of music. Absolutely stunning

[@jnabs102]

The most beautiful Christmas song I think I've ever heard! So touching! These young ladies did a fantastic job!

[@peterwingate3999]

What an excellent performance. Outstanding.

[@ChrisJohnson-sw6ml]

This is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. The tones and colors in this music is brilliant. I listen to what I hear between the notes-the feeling and emotion. The performance is outstanding. The harmonies are lush and full with stunning dynamics. And Kim is such a marvelous, young composer. I am adding many of your pieces to my programming next year. Simply marvelous music. This choir sounds like angels.

[@corporeidad]

Now let's hear it without tears 😀!

[@briannavo5893]

i love this song so much, it’s so calming and beautiful, the oh’s in the beginning are angelic. whenever i listen to it i honestly feel like im going to burst into tears.

[@BetterMe981]

Seriously, how could anyone down vote this? Just beautiful.

[@LM-mn7ll]

Perfection crystallized, soaring heavenward. Thank you ladies for these moments of ecstasy.

[@Hemiquaver]

👌👌❤️❤️ heard this tonight at the Burnside High School, Christchurch, NZ sung by the Bel Canto choir. Led by director Susan Densem. Beautiful song 👌👌❤️❤️👍👍

[@jerhannusloubscher1784]

Great piece and great performance. Really beautiful.

[@susanflakes6968]

Can we get their newest in repetoire...I know this is dated but the director is so exceptional and bonded to her choir...

[@keitha.neubert3063]

Moved to tears in Maine USA by the composition and its graceful, tender performance.

[@keitha.neubert3063]

Our Maine (gay men's) chorus performed this. We changed the "fear him" to "love him."

[@KaterinaNikoloudi]

My heart and my soul are flying beyond this world ... It makes me a better me. Thank you so much ❤

[@arizonastrip73]

It would be interesting to follow these young ladies four years after this video was created. I would anticipate great accomplishments from them.

[@tammychapman3150]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, ever.

[@grandmedandsci4755]

So beautiful song.

[@albertoortega5456]

May we all live to know and love Him. Such a beautiful phrase. Thank you Zephaniah...

[@garypedersen4202]

And also with you

[@JeremiahKlarman]

Thank you for reminding me of what beauty sounds like.

[@knw0805222]

I cannot understand the whole meaning of this song, but this song makes my mind in peace. What a terrific music.

[@oldtimedrumcorps]

you understood the meaning

[@LM-mn7ll]

A mother is singing a lullaby, rocking her baby to sleep. She sings of the Christ child, his mother, the shepherds and Angels. She sings of the Angels safeguarding her child and that someday they will see Jesus face to face.

[@jamesmcdunn]

It is not like they are speaking in code. Jesus was just born and Mary is comforting Him.

[@keithharman5580]

This is literally the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[@marks.nelson284]

One of my Arnesen St Olaf favorites so very gentle, musical, and peaceful...

[@jonathankoster547]

Such a soothing Christmas piece.

[@susannykamp188]

Hush, my dear, lie still & slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed! Heavenly blessings without number gently falling on thy head. See the kindly shepherds round Him, telling wonders from the sky! When they sought Him, there they found Him, with His virgin Mother by. See the lovely babe a-dressing; Lovely infant how He smiled! When He wept, the mother’s blessing soothed & hushed the holy child. May’st thou live to know & fear Him, trust & love Him all thy days; Then go dwell forever near Him, see His face, & sing His praise! Hush, my dear, Holy angels guard thy bed! Amen

[@marks.nelson284]

This is my third comment in a year, this is just so beautiful in every way, Angelic music helps me feel like a door to heaven is opened during listening and the burning bush glory is being imparted....

[@marilynnoosterhof1853]

God richly bless you Kim .... love this beautiful hymn

[@craigcollins6904]

Stunning!

[@parroccasantamarijabirkirk2232]

Simply beautiful. I am speechless. Mr Arnesen, may God bless you and your immense talent.

[@timmcvittie1866]

Outstanding!

[@arizonastrip73]

In addition to the heavenly music we have come to expect from Kim Andre Arnesen, this is a choir of the most lovely, wholesome young ladies.They behave like the angels in Heaven. One of my most favorite youtube chorales.

HUSH! my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed! Heavenly blessings without number Gently falling on thy head. See the lovely babe a-dressing; Lovely infant, how He smiled! When He wept, the mother's blessing Soothed and hush'd the holy child. 40 See the kinder shepherds round Him, Telling wonders from the sky! Where they sought Him, there they found Him, 35 With His Virgin mother by. May'st thou live to know and fear Him, Trust and love Him all thy days; 50 Then go dwell for ever near Him, See His face, and sing His praise! Isaac Watts. 1674-1748

[@annerood2703]

this is messed up, but I tried....verses two and three should be reversed and there is one verse, next to last, missing..........

[@Mark.H.9192]

Thank you Anne I appreciate you taking the time to share these powerful lyrics. Yes, thank you so very much. Best wishes!

[@Zephaniah3verse17]

This is a Christmas hymn of course, but I dedicate it to my beautiful new grandson Isaac born on 26 September 2015. May you live to know and love Him. Congratulations to Aaron and Michelle.

[@Nairuulagch]

Today I am listening to this for 5 times.

[@LuigiPulcini]

I have just heard this piece for the first time and was amazed, literally taken by how tenderly yet powerfully this melody resonated in my soul. If we'll ever stand before an angelic choir, I expect it to sound like this. Bravissimo!

[@robertdearman8125]

I just discovered this piece a few weeks ago when out choir director gave it to us to learn for Christmas. Wow, it is gorgeous! So happy to be learning it. Absolutely beautiful!

[@knw0805222]

It really sounds like voices of angels. I 'm very glad to hear this amazing song. Thank you.

[@marks.nelson284]

The contemporary baroque sighing motif enhances the beautiful sonorous melting melody ,along with the sonorous musical strings that continues the Arnesen tradition of Aural Bliss.

[@safaaal-saadi4015]

Kjempe fin sang og låt. Bra jobba kjære dere.

[@leosworld4u]

Yes as you say a very nice song & sung nice. And a good job. A Joyous Noel to You & Yours! From Leo in the town of Alamosa in the beautiful San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado USA. Check out Leo's Christmas on KZbin (Garyskiman L) 🎅🤶🦌❄☃🎵🎄🎁✨🖖🙏

[@patrickbeck1892]

if you think this is great definitely check out the composer's other work. Kim Andre Arnesen is underrated but writes fantastic music.

[@declanmcginty3076]

Yeah lol... Sound exactly like his song "flight song"

[@marclauer9799]

Peacefully brought to my knees.

[@fasteddie8627]

[@franciscolopezus]

Kim, this is beautiful music, not just for children but for all of us who are still children at heart. You deserve exposure.

[@joeldumont9528]

Tout est magnifique! La musique, l'interprétation, les personnes, le lieu, la prise d'image... Je serais curieux d'en savoir plus sur ce chœur. Un détail m'intrigue: quelqu'un connaît-il la signification du symbole sur le costume d'uniforme des choristes?

[@kjerstisteras5971]

This is the girls' choir in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. The composer's home town. The symbol is the official symbol of The Norwegian Church. (den norske kirke). Read more about them and their CDs here: www.jentekor.no/english

Please identify the choir singing this lovely hymn. Thanks, God bless and Merry Christmas.

It's the Nidarosdomens jentekor (Nidaros Cathedral Girl's Choir) from Norway.

[@susanhopkinswarneke2335]

The Sanctuary Choir at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Dana Point, CA has included this piece in our musical offering for Advent and Christmas. I have listened to this many times while learning my part. Thanks for responding to me. I hope our director chooses more of your music for us.
