G F Handel's Music is immortal and inspirational!!! How impactful,Soul lifting and Christ exalting are these classicals!!!!

[@barbarafarnsworth4800]

Maybe the reason we get chills when we hear them is because they are not just singing a song, they are bearing their testimonies of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

[@ThomasHathaway-ft9fu]

@barbarafarnsworth,4800: thank you.your words describe exactly how I feel God bless you.

[@carolearl3543]

Welcome Sister ❤

[@malcolmmassie7877]

I am amazed that the orchestra is not paid. In Canada (Toronto) the Mendelssohn is not paid, but the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is. My deepest respect and gratitude to these musicians for donating their professional skills and time to the Church. My heart felt prayers and thanks go out to you. A hundred thousand blessings to you all.

[@OperaBuff1935]

I was a chorister for 31 years and sang the great "Messiah" many times during that time. I considered it a privilege to be able to sing that kind of music. I never took a dime for it, nor wanted to, and I know most chorister feel the same way.

[@jimkirkendall2483]

It's all part of worship.

[@ellen823ful]

I immediately feel the Holy Spirit lighten my ❤️. I feel happy 😃 when I hear this. Every time.

[@yegfreethinker]

I'm more atheistic but I'm hoping nowadays that there is something like that. Something divine to lead us back to better days. This song certainly describe something wonderful coming to the world peace and brotherhood.

[@bodyassetmovementevolution9596]

A must at midnight of Christmas Eve … these words by Isaiah bring so much peace and strength to my heart.

[@soldat2501]

1208 am or Christmas Eve where I am at. Merry Christmas

[@rexcluff3105]

That so many singers could coordinate their voices so exactly such that you hear each and every note of the trills and arpeggios is amazing and a tribute to the greatness of this choir.

[@brucepowell9252]

This is choir music at its absolute best. Handel's best, perhaps, also.

[@abrahamakpan6317]

It's a wonderful rendition. In heaven, where only singing shall be done, it will indeed be glorious. Will you be there?

[@oyebamijioluwole7330]

This is an outstanding professional choir in which the voices are distinct clear and wordings well pronounced 👏 Indeed this classical music 🎶 a real master piece 👏

[@tholm4307]

A powerful performance to be sure! But let’s not forget the orchestra’s beauty and majesty contributing to this glorious masterpiece. 😉

[@billyrique]

1:07 "And the Government shall be above his shoulders" I love the way they pin down the notes! What an excellent performance!!

[@MichaelFrancisSadiosaRagragio]

One of my most favorite songs sung by my most favorite choir. Thank you so much Tabernacle Choir.

[@jonathanezekiel6676]

Oh it's just wonderful and is straight from the Bible

[@virginiakheswa5246]

How I wish I was a member of this choir, together praising God!!!

[@rattywoof5259]

Just join ANY choir that sings this music - the rewards are immeasurable. I'm 80 next year and since my teens I have never not been a member of some choral ensemble or another - it makes life so full - try it!

[@joannethibault6016]

Another of my fad's favorite hymns. I can hear him plaing it on the organ in my mind. RIP dad.

[@aaronfleming9426]

This is a sublime rendition of this piece. Many thanks to the choir, orchestra, and everyone else who must have put in hundreds (thousands?) of hours of time to prepare for this wonderful musical experience.

[@rosofficesolutionsinc1572]

One of my Top 5 in Handels Messaiah

[@jaredmugar7334]

No doubt this one of the finest choir I've ever seen and heard.

[@gregoryreese8491]

Hands down, this atheist's favorite non-secular Christmas piece. (With the lovely and moving: _Oh, Holy Night_ coming in a, somewhat distant, runner up.)

[@starwizzyy]

This song always makes me cry, God Bless everyone💞

[@paolared8245]

I could say the same !! A spiritual experience!

[@daphnethurlow5388]

May God bless you also

[@nsisongumoren4476]

I had goose pimples listening to this song. I love this choir. The singing is heavenly. May God hear our prayer in our singing. Amen

[@bryanbath6848]

This is truly how I have always imagined the choir of angels to sound like. Magnificent. Thank you!!

[@MaureenBrady-o3j]

Billy Graham came to our town on one of his revival tours. My mother sang with that Choir and later sang with our city's choir. I think I was 7 or so when Mother and the rest of the choir put on Handel's Messiah and Dad took me while Mom was up there singing.I thank God for my parents who loved me enough to show me the way to salvation..

[@benjamindevera8815]

😊

[@ssenfukasimonpetero8112]

Great Voices. Uganda says Hullo

[@nonsonwagu9106]

[@angelomilanfior7787]

Muchas felicidades! Comparto plenamente! Soy católico, no fanatico, y estoy enamorado de esta ejecución, de este coro, maravilloso!

[@elliotportner8020]

Simply wonderful-- the church realized that choral and orchestral mastery would bring not only attendance but committed membership realizing reaching holiness and sanctity required such greatness

[@brownjosiah4583]

God is great and they that love him shall remain blessed.

[@MrGiovannioliva]

[@aloziemichael9470]

I just discovered this piece and trust me it’s wonderful. God bless this choir

[@rosemariesandiego3661]

So heavenly and nostalgic, as well! It took me back to when I was with St.John Choir.

[@CoraleeJSmith]

I can listen to this choir over and over again and each time it's like I hearing it for the first time!! It goes way back to the 60s!

[@GrammyTapDancing]

Loved singing this in our choir each yr

[@Tinsymom1]

I weep when I hear this.

[@jordans962]

The verses: Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace are possibly the most awe inspiring part of all of Isaiah. I would like to personally thank Handel for setting them to such uplifting music. However, without a doubt, Isaiah is a man to remember! And, a bearer of Good News!

[@nicolabrooks1795]

My favorite Christmas song.

[@danielfaulk6288]

Praise you my Lord Jesus Christ! Most High and Holy, Wonderful, Counsellor, Almighty God!

[@bhekithembasithole4660]

[@thokozaniinnocent9301]

how will it be when we get to heaven if earthly people sing like this

[@elijahnarh7836]

[@thokozaniinnocent2025]

If earthly people can sing and makes you feel the presence of God how will it be when we get to heaven and hear the heavenly choir sing which is not canal?

[@chiezuwoinyamah9575]

I love this Choir, they always make me reflect on what joy we should expect in the Celestial Heavens after we must have kept to the Covenants we made with our Father in Heaven! This is another wonderful way this choir proclaims the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in whose church this choir comes from! What a wonderful privileged to always hear and watch them sing!

[@bartolomemadriaga140]

Great Choir!
