*LYRICS - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen* ------------ God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy From God our heavenly Father A blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same How that in Bethlehem was born A Son of God by name O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy In Bethlehem in Israel The blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger Upon that blessed morn For which His mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Album: Christmas with the Petersens 🎄✨
I am listening to this for what seems like the hundredth time and my favorite part is at the very first when Julianne says..."and joy". Then looks up and you know something special is coming and then you find out that you were right!
Dear fans of the Petersens: Drove over 200 miles to see them live in St. Marys, Ohio last week--- they're every bit the first-class, talented performers you'd imagine. Authentic... soulful. Left convinced that there are, indeed, angels--- and for two hours, this family brought heaven to earth.
I love this edition to this song. Rhythm and how everything is put together - this just became my favorite Christmas/gospel song. It's beautiful - you've earned a fan!
I'm glad i went back to find this gem. It's Simply one of my very favorite videos on RUclips. Katie's violin solo is incredible and Julieanne's vocals are majestic. Very well done Petersens! Emmett is incredible as always. Matt too.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I've been a guitarist and musician for 61 years ... You could line up 10,000 female vocalists and Julianne would stand well above them all. What a voice and style and her pitch is absolutely dead-on, on this, my favorite Christmas worship song!
I was just thinking the same thing. How many thousands of female vocalist would one have to audition to find the vocal and tonal qualities that Julianne exhibits? I’m just awestruck…
All amazing here. Juliannas voice is fantastic. Then Katie joins with the violin. Brilliant as usual. In this rubbish world they bring light into my darkness.
I am repeatedly blown away by the maturity and sophistication of Julianne's vocal style. It is rich in inflection and nuance and never overdone. Her voice might be the smallest in the ensemble, but she gets more out of her instrument than anyone else, save perhaps Emmett's dobro. The Petersens are all excellent musicians, but to my ear these two are on another level of virtuosity.
This arrangement is topnotch! The interplay of the voice and instruments is great. You've given this song new energy in a subtle way. I appreciate that!
As a 38 year old metal head, ive got to admit that this version brought a tear to my eye. And i cant stop listening! Amazing job, absolutely incredible! Merry Christmas! ✝️🇺🇸🎄
This is my favorite version of this Christmas classic. Julianne's voice is amazing and I love the jazzy rhythm. Everything about this arrangement and performance is simply fantastic
4:19 when she hits that note and the biggest smile afterwards...she just warms my heart. So well done Petersen family! Thank you for the wonderful song and God bless!!
WOW. This year I so needed to hear this lovely bluegrass version of this Christmas classic. Thank you! Love and good will from a 3rd generation nyc born and bred. God Bless America.
Julianne's voice is unique, and rich. The instrumentals were fantastic. I have never heard one song by the Peterson's that haven't been over the top fantastic. Love what these young folks are doing.
II have heard literally dozens of versions of this song. Usually I don't like musicians to change the style of songs, especially Christmas songs but the Petersons style and HEART on this song made it the best version i have EVER heard. THIS GROUP HAS IT'S HEART IN IT'S MUSIC. That's the way it should be.
Their arrangement is a riff on the recording by the Bare Naked Ladies, which is also very, very good. Give it a listen. I love what the family has done with it.
This young woman has accomplished something very special. In the face of having to come along after her two sisters, who are both very fine singers, Julianne has managed to develop a style and flair OF HER OWN. That is mighty rare, especially these days, when aping others seems to be a professional requisite. Good for her!
Moms look of satisfaction and pride as she listened to her children finish another beautiful song warmed my heart and made me smile. She is a beautiful mother whom obviously gave her children a sound foundation for life. Well done all of you!
Everyone shines as usual. Katie's fiddle lead was so exquisite it got under the skin, almost uncomfortably. Emmett's dobro skills were just perfect. Matt's rhythm was rock steady, like a freight train. But my, my, Julianne's voice! I've don't know if I've ever heard as irresistible a vocal break used that skillfully for interpretation! Julianne has made great strides as a vocalist in just the past year or so. She commands the space and radiates confidence. Her progress really is breathtaking. Way to go, guys. Out of the park. Home Run! I'm a fan of the Petersons for life.
How do you become prolific as the Petersen’s as musicians? Practice, practice, practice…and all sing beautifully. Julianne is a once in a generation singer, headed for Super Stardom. Will definitely work towards attending a concert. Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world. Imagine if Mom and Dad had not attended that Bluegrass concert and made the decision “we’re going to be a Bluegrass band”. Thanks Mom and Dad Petersen! God bless you all, always.
Wow!!! Again, Julianne's HAUNTINGLY beautiful voice!!! I also love the way Katie "bends" those notes on the violin!!! But, it's the way the older sis' smile at their baby sister, that truly warms my heart...LOVED IT!!!
Julianne’s voice is beautiful. Emmit’s Dobro solo was over the top awesome, and Katie’s fiddle play was at a whole other level of good. I’ll probably watch this video 100 times before Christmas.
found these fine people about 40 mins ago...like the first 2 songs...noticed they use two different vocalist ...so...bounced around song to song to see if they keep alternating main vocals.... they all have been good....but this young lady is jaw dropping. wow! So much talent in this group and absolutely amazing vibes!!!!
These guys play this song from the heart. Just watched them for the first time on this video. They have done a tremendous job! Every musician is such a good player making a beautiful team. Thank you! I would love to see you live someday.
I love how the other sisters look at their lead sister with such pride and joy. I never had that relationship with my siblings. Urban Brooklyn New York here and I am loving this tune
I have seven siblings and we still do look at each other like this (even when we’re not playing music, although almost all of us do play instruments)…and it’s such a joy in our lives to have this. That might be one of the many reasons I enjoy the Petersen videos so much - it reminds me that I should always cherish the great gift our parents gave us, and that we still give each other.
Another hit. Julianne's voice is so mesmerizing. The entire arrangement brought a whole new level to this Christmas classic. Katie's fiddle solo along with Emmett's Dobro performance brought real depth to the performance. Also can't help but mention how Mama's bass kept the entire rendition grounded. Thank you so much for all of the joy you bring to everyone with each new release.
Julianne has such a unique and beautiful voice. I could listen to her for hours! One day she is going to realize that and really cut loose! The arrangement and instrumentals were awesome as always. You make me smile.
That is absolutely amazing that got to #3 on the billboards with this song! The more I listen to your music, the more I think that Emmett deserves the IBMA Dobro Player of the Year.
Wow can that girl sing. And what a beautiful version of this song! Thank you Petersens! Gods bless you all and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Un ensemble musical dont j’essaye de suivre au maximum les prestations. Une jeune chanteuse au timbre de voix particulier, des musiciennes et musiciens de talent, il n’en faut pas moins pour enchanter mes oreilles. Chapeau bas, encouragements et remerciements !
First heard this amazing version of this around this time last year and made a comment. For some unknown reason to me I was walking down the street this morning and it came into my head and had to revisit as soon as I got home......Brilliant. 🎄
I normally dislike any alteration to traditional Christmas music, but this arrangement and performance is by far the most incredible thing I've ever heard!
Wow! Katie's virtuoso performance was awe inspiring. Add in Julianne's angelic voice and all the other fabulous things going on and you've got a most memorable performance.
Only you guys could bluegrass-ify a classic Christmas Carol and make it sound even BETTER ! Great job by everyone... Love it whenever Julianne takes the lead. We will see you after Thanksgiving. Can't wait!
Y’all have truly blessed my day by listening to this song. My wife is sick, I hurt for her. This message you bring in song is comforting to me. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Great vocal by Julianne, amazing solos by Katie and Emmett, and solid contributions from the other members of the sextet add up to a memorable take on a Christmas mainstay.
*LYRICS - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen*
------------
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
A Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem in Israel
The blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon that blessed morn
For which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Christ wasn’t born on ‘Christmas day’ though.
I am listening to this for what seems like the hundredth time and my favorite part is at the very first when Julianne says..."and joy". Then looks up and you know something special is coming and then you find out that you were right!
I am OBSESSED with julianne's voice

Julianne's voice... melts the soul...wish for more songs by her
Look up "May Baby" if you haven't already.
I love this edition to this song. Rhythm and how everything is put together - this just became my favorite Christmas/gospel song. It's beautiful - you've earned a fan!
I wanna have a family who can play like this. So encouraging to see you all worshiping our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. God bless you all.
What a wonderful song. So many tears of joy when I hear this song. Thank you so much for that.
Her voice is so magical, it makes me wanna cry ❤❤
I'm glad i went back to find this gem. It's Simply one of my very favorite videos on RUclips. Katie's violin solo is incredible and Julieanne's vocals are majestic. Very well done Petersens! Emmett is incredible as always. Matt too.
Wow. She has such an amazing voice. Absolutely beautiful music.
What an outstanding rendition. Amazingly talented family.
This and the O Come O Come Emmanuel rendition are the best music I have ever heard. Simply breathtaking. Thank you .
Wow! Wow! Wow! I've been a guitarist and musician for 61 years ... You could line up 10,000 female vocalists and Julianne would stand well above them all. What a voice and style and her pitch is absolutely dead-on, on this, my favorite Christmas worship song!

One year later and again got tears in my eyes…. God bless you! 🙏🏻
All amazing here. Juliannas voice is fantastic. Then Katie joins with the violin. Brilliant as usual. In this rubbish world they bring light into my darkness.
Julianne's voice in this song is just magical, I cannot stop listening to it over and over again.
I am repeatedly blown away by the maturity and sophistication of Julianne's vocal style. It is rich in inflection and nuance and never overdone.

It just does not get any sweeter and purer than this.
This arrangement is topnotch! The interplay of the voice and instruments is great. You've given this song new energy in a subtle way. I appreciate that!
SO MUCH COMFORT & JOY IN THIS PERFORMANCE........
This song jams more and more as time goes on! Keep up the good work.

Merry Christmas! ✝️🇺🇸🎄
These guys are amazing
This is my favorite version of this Christmas classic. Julianne's voice is amazing and I love the jazzy rhythm. Everything about this arrangement and performance is simply fantastic
Yeah, all their Christmas carols are my favorite versions.
I just love Juliana's voice it's so unique and so beautiful and so peaceful and it harmonizes so well with the rest of the group
Im just gonna give kudos to Mat here. That dude lays a solid rhythm foundation with feeling. Excellent work.
4:19 when she hits that note and the biggest smile afterwards...she just warms my heart. So well done Petersen family! Thank you for the wonderful song and God bless!!
Hope you Will stay together and play for a long time. Love you all. Be blessed❤️❤️❤️
This has been one of my favorite CHRISTmas song…great vocals
That first slide from guitar guy on the right was SOOO juicy!!
WOW. This year I so needed to hear this lovely bluegrass version of this Christmas classic. Thank you! Love and good will from a 3rd generation nyc born and bred. God Bless America.
Fab - Not just Julianne's voice, but the fiddle and dobro solos were fantastic as well. Keep up the great work!
Great play on fiddle and other instruments
Go from free go hi but hi 7

What Stan said.
So much grace, the singer is superb😊
Julianne's voice is unique, and rich. The instrumentals were fantastic. I have never heard one song by the Peterson's that haven't been over the top fantastic. Love what these young folks are doing.
Emmett is one of the top Dobro artists in the country. Merry Christmas!

Julianne’s voice has such an amazing bluegrass quality to it. All of you sing beautifully but there’s just something about that Julianne range. ❤️

Wow! Excellent singing and instrumentation! Especially Katie on the fiddle and Emmett on the dobro, World class.
Wow! A rare performance. One heck of an interpretation. Sends shivers down the spine.
I don't know if you know this, but you're all a shining beacon in these dark times. Thanks for this weekly dose of happiness!
Absolutely so. They reassure us there is still decency in this world.
@@brianrobertson1211 i spent olmost 5 minutes to try understand your sentence ans realize it was'nt shining bacon ^^
a shinning light in the darkness
@@toddprokipchuk304 I read Bacon also. haha!
The Petersens made me a blue grass fan, they do excellent work. Merry Christmas.
Me too! I was never a 'blue grass fan'....but now I love it! I love music by The Petersens....(& also the Lindsey Family)!
Julianne’s voice is beautiful. Emmit’s Dobro solo was over the top awesome, and Katie’s fiddle play was at a whole other level of good. I’ll probably watch this video 100 times before Christmas.
The dobro solos on all the videos I've seen are amazing. Beautifully melodic. Technically masterful. You can tell when someone practices a lot.
found these fine people about 40 mins ago...like the first 2 songs...noticed they use two different vocalist ...so...bounced around song to song to see if they keep alternating main vocals.... they all have been good....but this young lady is jaw dropping. wow!

Juliannes singing is a comfort and joy.
Love y'all. The family that prays and plays together stays together.❤🇮🇪🍀
There is something about Julianne's voice,it is so different ,the group as a whole is awesome.
This is the kind of Christmas music that I like to listen to in Spring.
These guys play this song from the heart. Just watched them for the first time on this video. They have done a tremendous job! Every musician is such a good player making a beautiful team. Thank you! I would love to see you live someday.
Her voice gives me chills and the instrument playing is great
This is the spark of pure beauty...
Thanks Petersens!
Julianne has such a unique amazing voice!!!! And a smile that’s contagious
I love how much you can see Julianne's confidence grow with each song. Love Love Love you guys!!!

When I see that the Petersens are releasing a new song, I know it's going to be masterpiece. Love you guys.
Hello from 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Nearly five minutes of pure visual and auditory pleasure! Found myself in another world, just grooving along! Fabulous!
Another hit. Julianne's voice is so mesmerizing. The entire arrangement brought a whole new level to this Christmas classic.

@Julianne that voice... goose bumps
That is absolutely amazing that got to #3 on the billboards with this song! The more I listen to your music, the more I think that Emmett deserves the IBMA Dobro Player of the Year.
September 26th, a great day to start listening to the Petersens Christmas songs !
Wow can that girl sing. And what a beautiful version of this song! Thank you Petersens! Gods bless you all and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
The Peterson's are extremely talented and a joy to listen to. Their music is of all types and not just Bluegrass.
The violin and sliding guitar notes were just angelic!!!
Un ensemble musical dont j’essaye de suivre au maximum les prestations. Une jeune chanteuse au timbre de voix particulier, des musiciennes et musiciens de talent, il n’en faut pas moins pour enchanter mes oreilles. Chapeau bas, encouragements et remerciements !
First heard this amazing version of this around this time last year and made a comment. For some unknown reason to me I was walking down the street this morning and it came into my head and had to revisit as soon as I got home......Brilliant. 🎄
Julianne's vocals 'blend in' with the instrumentals perfectly. Everything from this video sounds so smooth together.
How she sings "Power" in Save us all from Satans Power... LOVE IT
I normally dislike any alteration to traditional Christmas music, but this arrangement and performance is by far the most incredible thing I've ever heard!
Ditto. This was fantastic and didn't "feel" non-traditional.
It's the best non-traditional rendition I've heard. But I still prefer the traditional version :)
The Petersens are amazing! I love their music! You also may like this Christmas song! ruclips.net/video/U-2p9uo-5qI/видео.html
Julianne! Your vocals are just fantastic! The whole group is just amazing on this one.
I’m still returning to this video regularly a couple weeks later, such a great performance!
What a beautiful unique voice Julianne! Good job, thank you.
Dankeschön,sehr schön.❤
Wow! Katie's virtuoso performance was awe inspiring. Add in Julianne's angelic voice and all the other fabulous things going on and you've got a most memorable performance.
Gave me chills. Most moving rendition of my favorite carol. Julianne's voice is a treasure. Such impressive musicians, all.
Just when I think Katie’s solo is the best I’ve ever heard then Emmet blows the roof off. How can it be humanly possible for people to be this good.
The Holy Spirit radiates from each of them.
The Petersens sure did an awesome job on this one! So amazingly talented! You also may enjoy this one! ruclips.net/video/U-2p9uo-5qI/видео.html
Fantastic! Juliannes's voice are hypnotizing and Katie really knows how to play that fiddle!
Only you guys could bluegrass-ify a classic Christmas Carol and make it sound even BETTER ! Great job by everyone... Love it whenever Julianne takes the lead. We will see you after Thanksgiving. Can't wait!
Get it Katie! That was some fiddlin'. And Julianne's voice is, as always, amazing.
I hope I'm not repeating myself but, did I mention this is a world class performance?
Love this family band!!!!! So Refreshing!!!!!! What a proud mother!!!!
This is such a great rendition of a classic carol. That voice! That dobro! That fiddle!
I would love to hear The Petersens sing “Mary, Did You Know?”
I bet they would amazing at mary did you know
That would be beautiful
Yaaaaaaaaas!!
Yes!!!
Y’all have truly blessed my day by listening to this song. My wife is sick, I hurt for her. This message you bring in song is comforting to me. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Julianne' s voice sounds out of control but it is under total control. Wow. What a gift of god.
Love Julz's voice on this one! Can't wait to share it with everyone!
I speak for everyone we all love jul,z voice!
Como siempre, precioso!!!
I love Julz's voice too, but what I love most about you guys is your love for each other!! 😘
It's very sweet.

Julianne's voice is mesmerizing and perfect for this song.

To The Petersen Family , I hope your Holidays will be joyous and Happy and all of you are safe and healthy . You are Loved . God bless you all
Always a good day when we hear from Julianne! ❤️
Outstanding!! Bravo everyone on this cut, a new classic has been made. Thank you Petersens!!
This is absolutely THE BEST performance of this song. I listen the song 10x in a row. Thank you so much!
BTW: Kudos to the audio engineer for excellent EQ'ing and volume mixing! Fiddle and Dobro solos were absolutely wonderful!!
Good call, mixing can be horrible on an otherwise great performance from the artists!
Awesome! Best rendition of Carol of the Bells!
From Russia with love! Thank you folks, great music, great voices, great Petersen's.
Great vocal by Julianne, amazing solos by Katie and Emmett, and solid contributions from the other members of the sextet add up to a memorable take on a Christmas mainstay.
Julianne needs more credit for her unmistakable tone and phrasing. YOU ARE SO TALENTED!
