O Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) at Westminster Abbey

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.

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.

[@justforever96]

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.

Or where he turns his back on his mother and family? Or where he advocates thought crime?

I’m not religious. But to all you religious guys out there, let me tell you that your music is astoundingly powerful. Music is the most unifying language in the world, and you guys produce some of the very best. EDIT: thanks for trying to sell Christianity and Catholicism to me guys, but I am a Satanist. Y’all can keep it. Keep up the cool music tho. Go ahead and find God, I’ll just wait back here 👍👍

[@pierzing.glint1sh76]

Im not Christian but it could be because it is inspired and dedicated to something that actually matters. Something which is in a sense more "real" than things like money, worldly success, flings, dating, drugs etc. Perhaps you know what i mean. There's no fancy instruments or clever lyrics or deep bass or dancing here, just a bunch of middle aged people stood robot upright chanting away. and yet it still hits the mark. Why?

That organ improvisation half way through (I assume it was) was one of the most dramatic, virtuosic and emotional movements I've ever heard. I can only dream of being able to improvise like that. Wow.

[@johnking5174]

It was planned to be very dramatic as Dean John Hall arrived at the High Altar and incensed the altar, the over dramatic playing was to signify Christmas had well and truly started, also it was to show off the High Church element of the Church of England to those watching on TV.

[@ds1868]

The improvisation was performed by Daniel Cook, at that time sub organist of Westminster Abbey. Daniel Cook is now Master of the Choristers and Organist of Durham Cathedral.

Possibly the greatest rendition of that hymn I have ever heard. The organ interlude in the middle was quite dramatic and was a perfect companion to that holy hymn. Being a Christian, I respect other Christian denominations no matter who they are, and indeed I felt the spirit of the Lord quite powerfully in this service. Thanks for sharing from half a world away.
