GLAD sings "In The First Light"

[@KennyFisher-wo5mf]

Had this on cassette and wore it out! Never tire of listening to the human voices God gave us! These men were created to sing His praises! Blessings to all listening! We are the generation that having not seen, we love and rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, will witness that glorious, splendor filled 2nd coming! It is at the door!

[@joanietolbertboyd3627]

This song still gives me chills years later. Thank you!

[@mosler302]

One of the most awesome songs & renditions of the last 50 years.

[@joannasmart9752]

Wow, all these years later. These guys were what I listened to when I first was saved 20 years aga and I just came across them again. Still amazing.👍🏼😊

[@lamckinney94]

I give thanks for the tremendous gifts these men have shared so freely.

[@DocPortland]

I was a HUGE GLAD fan, and this was one of my fav songs.

[@scottbatson8721]

Glory to our Awesome God! Next time He comes back is as King of Kings and Lord of Lord's! Wooooo 😁🙌 give Him praise Church!

[@rosieadcock7610]

WONDERFUL......! BEAUTIFUL....! GLORIOUS......! What incredible harmony! Please give us more songs.....!! Blessings from South Africa....!!

[@myrebornlilliebeth5164]

This has been my all time favorite song after purchasing the Glad version many years ago. Always gives me chills to hear those precious words sung by their beautiful voices. Thanks for sharing. Merry CHRISTmas from Gloria in Mississippi!

[@joserafaelperalta8119]

no matter what, when hear a live video of them they sound like an studio, but that harmony at the so beautiful.

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

My favourite singing group...I love Glad.

[@hixs510]

Always love it, one of my favorites. I listen to this at least ten times at one sitting.

[@michaeldevose8923]

I love their harmonies. Glad and Take Six are my favorite christian/gospel a capella groups.

[@candacemommie9957]

Best Christmas song ever! Merry Christmas World! Wake up, He’s coming back one day for all those who are His❤️

[@passtheparcel2007]

GLAD sings live! AWESOME!

[@isabeltorres5574]

Their Great Singers

[@fredagowon6097]

Voices are wonderful

[@williamiannucci2740]

Thank you so much my brethren !!! Yes and all of you even if they broke you up says the Spirit but fear not God's LOVE is GREATER 👍

[@Quantanthead]

Thanks, I needed that. One of those I love to sing along with just came to mind moments ago. This group was always such an encouragement to me back in the 80's when I was a young believer in the navy traveling overseas. What an inspiration. I think I better listen again.

[@Fuheehee]

2008년 어릴때 이 앨범을 처음 듣고 정말 너무 좋아서 계절과 관계없이 매일매일 들었었는데!!!!

[@dylanhester4194]

This song still brings tears of joy to me every time I listen.

[@stever3953]

What a great song! I loved that song when it came out.

[@passtheparcel2007]

Awesome singing...

[@PaulKrentz]

Incredible song

[@4jeffstout]

I love their Christmas album!

[@jimwhite1061]

Inspirational! 😮

[@Stimpy77]

some studio recording mixed in with that .. still absolutely a wonderful song

[@yuriichernenko794]

feeling like being fooled a little )))

[@randyjsing]

Yuriy Chernenko The problem is that there are several parts at times. It's hard to duplicate with just 4 at times, like at the end for example.

[@randyjsing]

The solo is certainly live. It's not the same as the recording.

[@randyjsing]

This is still boss. "How much greater will our song be when He (Jesus Christ) comes again to rule the earth! When He comes back to rule the earth!"

[@davidkaiser3105]

Yuriy Chernenko this is the real deal. actually I saw them live in concert years ago, and they explained how they use technology to ever so slightly delay a replay of their live vocals (and, if I remember correctly, the replay is a little altered). I don't think you could reliably mix prerecorded vocals with live. It's their live vocals layered over themselves.

[@ColetteNasielski777]

Really love this song Jesus Christ is born

[@mikeolson2457]

I think their best song. I got to see them live once. Yeowza! I have never heard a better take on this song and I have heard some good ones. Also, listen to the Ball Brothers sing "It's about the Cross" and listen to their excellent take on a Christmas to Easter segue hard to forget. NO REGRETS.

[@waynenielsen8226]

Beautiful and powerful!

[@aishaarigu9259]

Love it

[@bruceluthanen8890]

Breathtaking!!!

[@johntatum1951]

Awesome...well done!

[@mikeolson2457]

Wow! Glad is just a great gospel, a capella group. This song is one of my favorites of theirs and is sung too little, in my estimation, at Xmas time. Their "Amazing Love--And Can It Be" rendition, check it out, is almost better, if that is possible. I miss this group nowadays.

[@susanleitson9958]

So do I! I'd like to find their "20 years of Glad" album. It's my favorite.

[@jamieelmore1382]

Wonderful

[@dennisblair3186]

Awesome!!!

[@jonmenges2256]

Please share more of these videos if you have them!

[@franwebber3648]

Yup, here is the original of In the First Light.

[@stephenmccollum1391]

Still incredible Holy Week 2021

[@markgrove2030]

Wonderful! This a capella version of song only rivalled by Todd Agnew & friends. Both are part of Christmas at our house. God bless us every one.

[@SquireRic]

Great!

[@edwardstonick4078]

If that's live, it's even more remarkable!

[@DavidMalone74]

haha

[@davidc2092]

Having heard Glad perform live, I can provide personal testimony that they amazingly sounded as fabulous live in concert!

[@JonBecker81]

What’s amazing is how there’s only 4 of them singing like 7 or 8 parts. Yeah, they sing with a backing track live. Actually most of what you hear is just a backing track.

[@passtheparcel2007]

Awesome to sing this live, with backing tracks! PTL!

[@supercontroleremoto9292]

Inspirador!!!!!

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

Sing it,Ed.

[@udayjose82]

Hi all! I've been looking all over the net for THIS arrangement. All male. Alas no luck. the other arrangements I viewed were in D major scale with Piano, Strings and Horn sections....ugh its frustrating. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to find the music sheet for THIS version. I don't believe in a free meal, I gladly (no pun intended) want to pay for the music sheets. PLEASE HELP! Need to do this before Christmas with my Virtual Choir! God Bless! Desperate Choir conductor.

[@kalvinrhone901]

Did you see the response below? It appears to be on their website. Good luck!

[@mayssanascimentosantos7442]

Deus seja louvado.

[@JB-bi4lf]

Lots of backing tracks here

[@bckohlie]

Does anyone know where you can get this arrangement?

[@PScooter63]

Check their website, they do sell the full studio arrangement, hand-written, way before computers got good at notation! I bought this myself a long time ago, and am looking at it right now. It starts with four parts, but expands to eleven distinct parts at the end. Bob Kauflin is an amazing composer/arranger.

[@justbridger]

Interesting

[@davidadamsmusic]

Definitely backing tracks helping them here. Still awesome though.

[@REVW196]

Is it GLAD or Memorex ?

[@jlebaron1]

Wonderful song & lyrics. Lead singer is live but he clearly starts out in a slightly lower key at the beginning and makes a slight adjustment when the backup vocals come in which indicates they are pre-recorded.

[@kenmoore450]

FIND ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS SONG. tHEY SCREW IT UP WITH ADS.

[@cbiizzy]

This no all live. There wre too many voices to fit a quartet. They had to sing with a pre recorded audio.

[@randyjsing]

cbiizzy True. Solo part was improvised a bit, but the background vocals were likely pre-recorded because at times there were more than 5 plus parts.

[@KenHobday]

When was this recorded?

[@tfraker]

I don't know brother, but what a blessing to listen to it! Thanks for sharing.

[@jonmenges2256]

Judging from everyone's appearance I'd say around 2008 or so. Just an educated guess.

[@jamesmoore2054]

my buddys saw them live doin this was this vidio awesome ed knoll and the guys are awesome

[@KevinTaylor-qe5cl]

1991
