As a small boy, I loved this music and words! I would cry then and even now at 65 I still cry. YES Jesus is fairer than all !!!! I truly love you Yeshua, and the Father and the Holy Spirit. I am dying now, bed bound, very ill, was once a cathedral choirmaster, organist, teacher, violist, composer and expert in children's and men and boy choirs, went to Westminster Choir College, and soooo much more. Yet all is nothing and dust except the love in my heart and soul for my beloved Jesus.

This director possessed the secret of all great directors, the mysterious , rythmic pulse that draws his choir in to his genius and then emanates, in the perfect blending of human voices. No collection of man-made instruments could so exquisitely express the tonal vibrations of the Universe. Only a Conductor such as Jennings and his acapella Choir have brought us to this Sacred place.

Our director graduated from St. Olaf, which made it so much easier. Looking back, I realize he was trying to instill the "St. Olaf Sound". We always did this song at the end of every single concert, but the best performance we had was a Chorale reunion 3 years ago. It was so difficult to get through the song without crying. We ALMOST sounded as good as this choir. Thanks for the memories.

Missing this concert, and singing one more time under this genius of a conductor is one of my greatest regrets. I was involved in two productions in Germany (where I live) and when I wrote to Dr. Jennings and told him I couldn't be there, and why I could not, he wrote backk that he was proud of me and my career, and that this is the way he'd want it for me. He was not only a great conductor, but a true gentleman. I think of you, Dr. Jennings, each time I open my mouth and sing, and re-live those great lessons you are still teaching me. God Bless you, KJ. I'd say I miss you, but you are so present in all of our lives.

It is Christmas 2019 and I have watched this, as I do each Christmas. The performance of this hymn brings tears to my eyes. It captures the wonder, joy, and beauty of Christmas to me. And it is a tribute to a life well lived, and a tribute to those in our lives who have cared about us, taught us, and helped mold us into who we are. Dr. Jennings was such a man to so many at St. Olaf, and they were blessed with a memorable opportunity to return and celebrate this very special day with him.

Dr. Jennings was such a man to so many at St. Olaf, and they were blessed with a memorable opportunity to return and celebrate this very special day with him. We all have had such people in our lives: parents, relatives, friends, teachers, and so many others. Take a moment to think of one such person - and be grateful. How pleased they would be to know that you are grateful.
