[@stevenbakenhester]

It’s has been 3 years, and this is still the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

[@kamrynhofeling4273]

you are a beautiful person

[@trishapaul622]

I agree! I need this song on my Spotify Christmas playlist

[@trishapaul622]

I just discovered it is on Spotify now!!!!

[@amberschilling6253]

ME TOO!!!!!!

[@Southernsue]

Same! I come back each Christmas and feel the spirit stretch my heart. ❤❤❤ what a gift.

[@judyshaw5091]

I have listened to this SO many times. I think it is the most beautiful arrangement sung with 2 beautiful voices! Thank you ❤

[@nataliesivertsen854]

I listen to this multiple times each Christmas and every time I hear it I think, “This is what angels sound like.”

[@ericemerson6501]

I am not LDS but I love the music, not just this song but all the music. Thank y’all for recording so we all can enjoy.

[@stevenbakenhester]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Full stop. It gives me chills. I feel my Saviors love so strongly. You can feel their testimonies coming through the music. ❤

[@dodogonzaga]

It's almost Pentecost, but I don't have a heart to not make this song a whole-year song. God bless you all, God bless LDS Church. 😇🙏🏽

[@ArlaMo8]

Listening again this year. Absolutely exquisite!

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Thanks for listening!

[@SuperTotoro3]

Wow. You get the sense that both vocalists have an awareness of the depth of the message PLUS exquisite talent. Such reverent beauty!!

[@Skyesoceaneyes]

When my kids saw these two look at each other at the end, they were like "They're in love! They're in love!" We tried to explain that they were on stage, they were just sharing a musical moment, yadda yadda yadda. But then we looked at the names. Good job kids, you called it! They ARE in love! Good call. Beautiful couple.😍

[@katherinehirschi2332]

Let

[@maidy3]

What's their names?

[@adigitalteacher]

Bryson and Tierra Jones. This performance helps me focus on Jesus Christ every time I listen.

[@copefamilysings]

This song has definitely been a highlight of our Christmas season and the year 2020! Thank you Bryson, Tierra, and Jared for holding up the light of the Savior for all of us to see and feel of His love!

[@dougmortensen8179]

My big quest is how many takes did they have to shoot to get it so perfect. The conference center seemingly empty, yet their energy and her radiant smile the same way you’d experience with the energy of a live audience. Their energy and passion and musical talent and power is amazing and left us in awe as we silently relished in the spirit of CHRISTmas resulting from this performance.

[@JacobEnglish76]

Of all the millions and millions of content that get plastered on digital/social outlets on a daily basis, I think I can say with 100% assurity, that this... THIS SONG! is the the most powerful moving force that's been posted in a long time, on this and on all platforms! Praise to the Lord God on High! Noel! I can feel his love! Merry Christmas! don't give up hope! He will come again!

[@6denashi608]

I agree 100%. This performance goes straight to my heart and has helped me remember not only what is most important at Christmas, but in life.

[@TS-tv2ik]

Amen!

[@MitchellRiceRealEstate]

Amén and amen!

[@thepony3146]

These two together are a treasure. With their voices, they might as well be angels themselves.

[@milocadayong5320]

Can't get enough of this version of the First Noel. Such a beautiful arrangement.

[@ambu6478]

I agree. I have to keep coming back to listen again and again. Two of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard and together they're like angles. The pianist is awesome as well.

[@Cinnamon_Bears.]

Agree completely! This is the most beautiful version I've heard so far! What gifted singers! I love the spirit I felt!

[@craigluthy3221]

I agree totally. I keep coming back to this to feel the love of God and Christ and have even sent the link to many I Iove. I appreciate especially that these are "regular" people, singing from the heart of testimony. No glitz, just a pure message. Let us follow the "star" wheresoever it goes.

[@briannamoodie7725]

This is the most gorgeous thing! Her voice ❤️🥰

[@jocelyndaniel1979]

I just wanted to share that this is the MOST beautiful rendition of this song i've ever heard. My family and I have listened to it many times. You guys are something else

[@brysonjonesmusic]

❤️🎄

[@wandaharpley9773]

I wish I could like this a million times!!!

[@samanthahodges3809]

I’m obsessed with this song. What a beautiful arrangement. It’s made me tear up so many times. I only wish it was on iTunes so I could listen to it in the car.

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@kayleighsearle5681]

Agreed. I would love to listen to this on other platforms.

[@andrewwagner3462]

It's on Spotify, under the Christmas on Temple Square album

[@elizalazalde]

Me too! 😄I listened to all last Christmas season and and now I started to listen and they still sound divine.

[@nsavage1000]

The most moving and incredible version of this song I have ever heard. Cried many times listening to it. Thank you for sharing your incredible God-given talents 🤍

[@sparklinds]

Me too!

[@jakegabrielsen5049]

Thank you deeply. I have struggled with faith and cynicism my whole life. I feel the Holy Ghost and God's love so powerfully when I listen to your arrangement of one of my favorite Christmas hymns. Thank you.

[@codykoplin5337]

The best version of Noel. You can feel the couple's love for one another and the Savior's love

[@sandytamora]

Amazing, after 2 years my favorite Christmas song still

[@bonnyskarstedt5092]

What a beautiful rendition of this amazing song! They have such incredible voices.

[@yvonneantersijn6212]

Thank you so much. We love all the three of you.Again thank you

[@theunit3773]

Imagine setting up all of those trees!

[@AdamKlownzinger]

Its songs like this that genuinely just overwhelm me with gratitude for the love God has for us and the appreciation for allowing us to live every single day that we do on this Earth.

[@ashleeklemm5915]

Thank you, Jared, Tierra, and Bryson! This has easily become my favorite arrangement of this classic. I can't stop listening and get goosebumps every time after the key change into the last verse. I never paid that last verse much attention before (really never heard it much!), but now feel tears swell in my eyes as I hear you all perform it-"and with his blood mankind has bought." Yes!

[@Waterboyofsuperman]

It’s too bad the LDS hymn book only has the first two verses. The others are more impactful imho.

[@Spidey_Ethan]

Man... his voice is like butter! He could be the voice actor and singer for a Disney animated musical character, and would rock at it. Such a beautiful duet arrangement!

[@genefigueroa6418]

The words, piano and voices all touch my heart so deeply. I watch & listen to this performance often and can't seem to get enough.

[@gaylelewis8201]

Two years later, I’m still replaying this, even in the middle of the year. It touched me so deeply. Thank you! ❤

[@francodelarosa5646]

What a commendable performance! Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@juliesmith13]

I absolutely loved this rendition! Such beautiful voices!! Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@breamckay6760]

I have had this on repeat everyday since, at least playing it 5 times a day!! So beautiful!

[@j2p287]

I found this song a few weeks ago and was amazed! It was a very depressing day for me and this song entered my heart and put me at peace. What beautiful voices they have. A special thank you for a wonderful performance.

[@mindydavis3162]

We love you both so much! Thank you for sharing your talents to praise our Lord! ❤️ Jared played wonderfully, too!

[@happythomasfam]

My favorite new song of the season. This arrangement and these voices were just perfection. I keep coming back to listen.

[@emmanuelekong8728]

Wow! her voice is soo beautiful! Then when I thought it was all, his awesome voice made my jaw dropped even more. What a lovely rendition to our Lord and King! I love it, thanks for sharing.

[@6denashi608]

Exactly! Before he started singing, I thought, "he's so toast cuz no one could follow her performance." Boy was I wrong! What a duo; this is the most moving performance I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

[@renyanvillanueva7343]

The best rendition of the First noel. Cant get over with it. Thanks to this. 😇

[@gayleredd4201]

That was AMAZING. Beautiful Voices.

[@digdudemoose2536]

Wow! This is the most beautiful arrangement of The First Noel. The singer's voices and control are perfectly matched. The harmonies are angelic. The piano accompaniment gorgeous. Bring all of that together and it is a glorious invitation for the Holy Ghost to be with us and testify to our heart & mind of the reality and absolute divinity of our Savior & Redeemer, Jesus the Christ. Thank you.

[@ambu6478]

Wow, what a beautiful version! These two beautiful people have the voices of Angles!! It really touched my heart. Thank you and may the Lord bless you!!!

[@jasonsnook5158]

Beautiful!! She sounded like an angel singing! (Or what I think an angel would sound like)!😂

[@philolson5110]

Oh my goodness, I’ve had this on repeat for a while now and it DOES NOT get old!! Thank you!!!!!

[@DylanandDeliaChatwin]

Merry Christmas from Jakarta, Indonesia. May the love of Jesus Christ stay forever in our heart. Amen

This is the most amazing version of this song I've ever heard. Cried through it several times.

[@johnmorgan9145]

This is so incredibly beautiful! I would love it if they would produce a cd of this kind of music. The world sure needs this now more than ever and surely will in the future!

[@craigluthy3221]

Wonderful performance and arrangement of my favorite Christmas carol - Noel - the first birth. So refreshing to listen to “regular” people sing in a loving and heartfelt way. Kudos and tearful gratitude. It gets me every time.

[@lauratingey6960]

This couple is amazing. I love this version. Thanks for sharing your talents. Hope to hear more from them.

[@ky2004rm]

This arrangement came to life with these beautiful voices. It inspires me and moves me to tears whenever I listen to it. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents with me.

I'm going 4 for 4 on this video. Watched 4 times, cried 4 times...

[@6denashi608]

[@NoName-kv8ch]

I am crying with great joy in my heart

Absolutely love this wonderful arrangement of Noel! The performers are so impressive. Their talents certainly make the song ring out! Beautiful Christmas!

[@elizalazalde]

I love this performance, their voices are amazing, and they sing with the spirit. It was incredible to find out that they are not professional performers. that they actually have other jobs and a family. Wow!

[@dianehouston9090]

I love this performance!!!

[@jenniferfiso4403]

I still listen to this every day maybe 10 times, no joke. It’s my favorite song and arrangement and both your voices are so inedible. Hope you guys doing more songs together . And I’ve discouraged Jared Pierce and listen to his stuff too . I’ve learned the whole song just by listening to it. ♥️ Thank you.

[@jenniferfiso4403]

Incredible I meant

[@danielmaluenda9731]
