I've looked into different religions, as I'm convinced there's 'something' higher, & it's *Jesus* that seems the One real thing I can trust & believe in, Merry Christmas, peace on earth.. x
Advent being a time of penance and conversion the secular songs don’t even come close. Christmas time begins Dec. 25 and continues until the Magi come to present their gifts. Let us observe the traditions.
How few Christians, and especially Catholics, I am embarrassed to say even remember that this Holy Feast celebrates all of that, and prefer instead "Jingle Bells."
@@joeowens6180 "Especially Catholics." Your putrid anti-catholicism just couldn't be contained--even during the time of personal spiritual renewal that is Advent.
So much peace and love in the words of these hymns. I am recovering from recent knee replacement surgery, I can’t attend my church. This has made my Sunday perfect. God bless everyone out there listening ❤
Richard - it has now been four years. But as I am still trapped at home and cannot fulfill my responsibilities in the choir at my church, this popped up on RUclips after a Buxtehude piece by Ben Bloor and started autoplaying as I went to get another coffee and some breakfast. I cannot begin to convey what a blessing this has been to me on this very lonely day. I look forward to connecting this afternoon with all our VC friends. Combined with the online streams of the services from my home church, all of you are my lifeline to sanity. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is just wonderful. Thank you! I have enjoyed reading the comments of your followers, especially from people who compare this kind of music to that currently played/sung in many churches today; the 'choruses' and other trite so-called music. There's NOTHING to compare to this kind of music, played and sung with dignity, decorum and grace. Such depth of the words and spirituality. Thank you!
Just because there may be a guitar used, doesn't mean it's fit for a Rock festival. Some people must like it, fair enough, but it alienates me with it's pointlessly soppy emptyness. Modern Church music, like modern buildings, is weak & inferior to the older, real stuff < which is actually far more akin to Rock music as they both have power & emotive strength which modern Church twang lacks.
@@TheMercury-13 I like your thoughts on the subject. And you expressed it better than I did. There is nothing wrong with rock music , I like it. And a guitar in worship is good , for example much spiritual work by J S Bach can be transcripted to guitar and it sounds great But, yes, it's the over emotions of much modern worship music that I cannot accept . And the fact that it sets up the atmosphere more of a crowd at a rock festival (and I have been to many) than that of persons meant to be in sincere meditation in church or at home praying .
Oh, this transported me back to my life as a chorister in the 50's and 60's. Dark, cold Sunday evenings at church made warm singing these wonderful hymns. Happy days. 💕
Anther advent season has come, many people here in Canada still needlessly in fear of 'C' and the world is in worse shape than ever. This music brings me such comfort and not as it is not sing in our churches.
We pray for the Christianity all over the World and wish all people enlightment by the teachings of Jesus. Sawe my coutry Hungary and our efforts from evil!
Lets us stand together as one in prayer against the evil plans of the WHO and the WEF. The truth will set us free! God save Hungary, Poland, the US and all the other countrys, Christians founded in the Name of Jesus, including my homeland Saxonia.
Yes save Hungary Jesus and Poland and others as well including America too. These countries have stood strong through much evil. Bless the Lord Jesus our Savior.
Save us from megalomaniac haters using religion & right-wing QAnon guff to peddle toxic bigotry, sexism, homophobia; claiming to represent Jesus yet showing only devil's hatred, giving God a bad name- we'll all be judged on how we treated others in our life; agapē or misanthropy?
@@Sofia-wx2ht Sofia, hello. This is Donald. I want to take the time to wish you a merry Christmas a couple of days late. But, the Christmas season can go into January. You are more than welcome to reply to me if you need someone to talk to. I'm 63 years old and have been blind since birth. I use adaptive equipment. This equipment makes it possible for me to type my own replies without help. Sofia, again merry Christmas and God bless us everyone!!!
So it should... Those who set and naught and sold Him, pierced and nailed Him to the tree, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, shall the true messiah see.
William Ode I played the one called 120 Bible Hymns and my dear wife of 81 years old has dementia remembered, them all since she was young in church and sung right along with them all; what do you think of that? It gave her a little bit of sunshine in this dark hour.
I feel for you. It is a terrible thing to live through, one of the scariest things you can experience. Most people don't think about how terrible it must be to loose your very memories, your mind, your conscious SELF. Better to have some mere physical illness, really. At least you have your mind and your memories right until the end that way. It never really dawned on me until quite recently how terrifying it really must be to have a brain inury or dementia. And it's almost as bad for those who have to watch it happen to others. God bless you both and I hope you have a happy Christmas.
I'm a long haul truck driver these days and often not home for the holy days., Years ago, when I had a normal job, I would meet up with three friends from choir on the afternoon of Christmas day at a local nursing home. We would walk the halls singing carols. We would spend about an hour doing this. The cries of joy from some of the residents would rip at my heart. It would often become difficult to keep singing. If you have the opportunity, please look into doing this near where you live. If the Lord has blessed you with a voice, please share that gift with the shut-in.
Organist Student from Mendocino Presbyterian Church, Northern California Coast. Thank you Richard and Carolyne for all that you give. I am learning so much.
Advent, & especially Advent hymns never get the attention & love they deserve. The secular radio stations would never include these on their Christmas music playlists...but they should..
I worry more of the Christians ( in newer worship communities) who do not follow the liturgical calendar and have no idea of these hymns which document Israel's and our yearnings for the Savior. Blessed Advent to all.
Just recently moved here to Corpus Christi Texas. I have been to the cathedral twice recently. It is a cross between a Spanish mission and a seaside church. Absolutely beautiful. The organ is a 4 manual, I am not sure exactly how many stops. Probably 80-100. There are 2 or 3 pipes on display in the choir loft that are slumped over from the Texas heat. Those two dead notes are not even noticeable and the music is heavenly 😍
All Glory to the most Holy & Mighty God of the universe thank you sincerely for caring for us to Witness again another Advent 2024 We Love You Lord🙏🙏🙏💜🙏🙏🙏
Richard, I'm not sure if you'll ever see this comment, but I just want to apologize for the discourteous manner I expressed my disappointment about the changes you saw fit to enact on this page. Truly great music moves the soul and inspires passion. While I do miss the old videos, I can appreciate the new. What's more, whether I agree or disagree, I should, as scripture says, "follow peace with all men, and holiness..." I'm confident that you love sacred music, I pray you love Almighty God, Who gets glory from it. Those are things that should bring folks together, a truism even more abundantly clear in such difficult times as the ones on which we live. That said, I humbly offer an apology and olive branch, for what it's worth. Thank you for your unique contribution to RUclips which makes so many people happy and aids their worship of Jesus, the Prince of Peace and God of love. Enjoy your Advent and Christmas. Be well. Stay safe. God bless.
THE ORGANIZERS OF THESE MELODIOUS SONGS REALLY DID A VERY GOOD JOB HERE. YOUR LABOR OF LOVE WILL NOT GO UNREWARDED. WITH MUCH LOVE I LISTEN ED BE BLESSED IJN AMEN.
Hills of the north rejoice has always been a great hymn for me ever since I was a child...I’m 73 years old now and it still gets me each time I hear it. Wonderful collection here thank you

I never even realized that my favorite Christmas songs were actually advent songs. I never knew there was a difference. I keep listening to this over and over for the last few days, these are fantastically good pieces. And the organ is superb!
So glad you discovered that there is a difference. For those who follow the church year some of the finest music is for the Advent season. Keep listening and learning.
WOW!!! Superb. I love this. Advent/ Christmas time is such a blessed time of the year and in these times when we can't be with family and friends or attend Christmas Concerts it is a joy to know that we have somewhere to go to listen to Advent/Christmas music 🎶💖🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎄🎁
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful video! I just love Christmas music and message it brings...especially in these uncertain times. May the Lord bless and take care of us all in His good way. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievably, I have two memories from when I was 2 years old (both are of our home we moved out of before I was 3, so it is a reliable time-stamp). First is of Christmas and my Dad had given "me" a model train (American Flyer) and he was running it for me on the floor in front of our Christmas tree. The other is sitting on the porch of that house when a steam locomotive went charging by, the tracks literally on the other side of the one-lane street. My two earliest memories, both surrounding trains. This time of year brings back memories of happy and not-so-happy times. But it takes Christ's coming to give us hope and joy in the midst.
Listening to this in 2021. Despite all of the hardship and uncertain times of pandemic, this never erased the joy of Advent. God Bless, Richard. I still could enjoy this in my room all day and cry a lot.
A VERY happy Advent to you! I published this video early because I think we're ALL in need of some wonderful Advent joy. Please let me know in which country YOU are listening to this 😊 00:00 | O come, O come, Emmanuel! (Veni Emmanuel) 03:44 | Lo! he comes with clouds descending (Helmsley) 08:05 | Wake, O wake! with tidings thrilling (Wachet auf) 12:02 | Hills of the North, rejoice (Little Cornard) 14:50 | Long ago, prophets knew (Personent hodie) 17:16 | Creator of the stars of night (Conditor alme) 19:48 | Come, thou long-expected Jesus (Cross of Jesus) 21:33 | Mine eyes have seen the glory (Battle Hymn) 25:07 | People, look east. The time is near (Besançon Carol) 27:09 | I heard the voice of Jesus say (Kingsfold) 29:29 | On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry (Winchester New) 31:59 | Iste confessor 35:02 | Come, thou Redeemer of the earth (Puer nobis nascitur) 38:06 | Hark what a sound (Highwood) 40:49 | Remember, O thou man (Ravenscroft) 43:42 | Hark, the glad sound (Bristol)
Truly thrilling! This is wonderful to enjoy and share with friends as we progress into the season of Advent. This year is particularly poignant as we not only await the arrival of our Savior, but finally getting control of the pandemic. Thank you for sharing this message of hope!!
What a wonderful collection to listen to and sing along to, in an Advent when the pandemic has sidelined choirs, in my case for the first time in 55 years.
For us it has been over 48 years in church choir. I have been losing my lung capacity and this was wonderful to sing along with. Many new words but same tunes on most songs. Lovely! Thank you so much! I would love to see the original Latin versions as well!
It is so wonderful, this music made me FEEL. (considering, I think I cannot explain this FEEL) . I pray that Almighty God blesses all of you that participated herein.
As beautiful as always, brings back deep seated memories and tears of comfort in the Lord's bosom. Thank you for this amazing creation and expression of love.
Happy Advent to all those who took part in singing in the Choir, Amazing Practice my Grandfather Percy Samuel used to like this ( BASS) May your soul rest in peace, He used to drown the whole Church at Church of South INDIA HOLY CROSS with his Lovely voice, Miss you papa I'm just choked listening to the way you guys are singing God bless One and all,
We all need thrilling sounds at this time, it lifts the mood so much, remembering happier times and looking forward to safer days ahead! Thanks Richard!
A glorious and very wide-ranging selection of first class hymn, many familiar to me from the Roman Divine Office, especially that miraculous Saint Ambrose. I hope this fine selection, with text, can be released to the public one day! Bless you!
Thanks so much organizers of this wonderful choir. Thanks for the lyrics it makes us sing along with the choir. GOD will hear and have mercy on HIS world. Thank you organist am jealous for such a wonderful gift. Shalom.
Hello again from Knoxville, Tennessee . Of all the seasonal music, Advent is the season I look forward to the most. The Anglican tradition holds the very best selections and is distinct from all the rest. My thanks to you and Caroline again for the contributions you make to so many of us. God be praised and may he bless you and those you love bunches and bunches!
Just listening to these advent hymns makes your heart sing with gladness as another season of Advent comes to a close we can come together in celebrating our Saviors Birth in a few short days
Being blessed as I watch and hear. I agree to some comments about the difference in the praise sung with solid biblical meanings . From 🇮🇳 India. God bless all ae we approach the season of celebration of The Birth of the King,The Lord Jesus Christ.
Greetings from a retired organist/choirmaster in North America, just as penniless as the next churchmouse, but your videos always bring joy. Blessed Advent!

When young sang these every Advent without thinking. Now looking at the words how full of truth they are!
Advent being a time of penance and conversion the secular songs don’t even come close. Christmas time begins Dec. 25 and continues until the Magi come to present their gifts. Let us observe the traditions.
I love the old, the meaningful Christmas hymns that speak of death and resurrection, and the advent of Grace in our fallen world.
How few Christians, and especially Catholics, I am embarrassed to say even remember that this Holy Feast celebrates all of that, and prefer instead "Jingle Bells."

@@joeowens6180 That's the pity of it. I know one Catholic to whom Christmas cannot come fast enough. I like to take it at a more slower pace.
There is so much doctrine in these old hymns. Compared with the Christian songs of today, it becomes apparent why we are in the state we are in.
So true..
So, so true! Those hymns are

Unbelievably, I have two memories from when I was 2 years old (both are of our home we moved out of before I was 3, so it is a reliable time-stamp). First is of Christmas and my Dad had given "me" a model train (American Flyer) and he was running it for me on the floor in front of our Christmas tree. The other is sitting on the porch of that house when a steam locomotive went charging by, the tracks literally on the other side of the one-lane street. My two earliest memories, both surrounding trains.
This time of year brings back memories of happy and not-so-happy times. But it takes Christ's coming to give us hope and joy in the midst.
Especially during this prolonged time of "virtual worship," it was a wonderful gift to be able to sing so many Advent hymns. Thank you!!

Listening to this in 2021. Despite all of the hardship and uncertain times of pandemic, this never erased the joy of Advent. God Bless, Richard. I still could enjoy this in my room all day and cry a lot.
Don't cry. Think of the coming birth of Christ on Christmas.

William, O, Come Emanuel !!!
How lovely to hear again that beautiful 'People, look east. The time is near'. (25:07) Sublime.
Truly thrilling! This is wonderful to enjoy and share with friends as we progress into the season of Advent. This year is particularly poignant as we not only await the arrival of our Savior, but finally getting control of the pandemic. Thank you for sharing this message of hope!!
The theology implicit in these magnificent hymns is profound.
It is just the start of October, and now here I am revising these hymns already!
What a wonderful collection to listen to and sing along to, in an Advent when the pandemic has sidelined choirs, in my case for the first time in 55 years.
For us it has been over 48 years in church choir. I have been losing my lung capacity and this was wonderful to sing along with. Many new words but same tunes on most songs. Lovely! Thank you so much! I would love to see the original Latin versions as well!
Wonderful, lift my spirit high . Thanks much.
Brought back memories of my being a member of choir in the late fifties. Much appreciation.
Year after year these songs never get old and also maybe even better ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sending Love 💕 Christ the Lord is Coming Amen 🙏🙏🙏 Happy Advent Season to us all 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful soul searching music 🎶
It is so wonderful, this music made me FEEL. (considering, I think I cannot explain this FEEL) . I pray that Almighty God blesses all of you that participated herein.
As beautiful as always, brings back deep seated memories and tears of comfort in the Lord's bosom. Thank you for this amazing creation and expression of love.
Happy Advent to all those who took part in singing in the Choir, Amazing Practice my Grandfather Percy Samuel used to like this ( BASS)
May your soul rest in peace, He used to drown the whole Church at Church of South INDIA HOLY CROSS with his Lovely voice, Miss you papa I'm just choked listening to the way you guys are singing God bless One and all,
We all need thrilling sounds at this time, it lifts the mood so much, remembering happier times and looking forward to safer days ahead! Thanks Richard!
Yes indeed!
Ohh my beloved Christmas!!!

The king is born in our hearts The light shines in darkness haleluya we are redeemed 🙏🙏

Shall come to thee. O Israel.
One of the best hymns that as full lovely parts with amazing descant🙏🏻🙏🏻
A glorious and very wide-ranging selection of first class hymn, many familiar to me from the Roman Divine Office, especially that miraculous Saint Ambrose. I hope this fine selection, with text, can be released to the public one day! Bless you!
Gracias Señor por venir por nosotros. Oraciones desde Colombia
Amen.
Thanks so much organizers of this wonderful choir. Thanks for the lyrics it makes us sing along with the choir. GOD will hear and have mercy on HIS world. Thank you organist am jealous for such a wonderful gift. Shalom.
Excellent to find quality performances with scrolling lyrics which can be used as an aid for choir rehearsals during this pandemic. Thank you.
This is a video we watch yearly during Advent. Highly recommend.
What music with such glorious singing & wonderful organ- a favourite of mine which brightens everyone's day.
Without a doubt the finest, most inspiring hymn playing (and singing!) I have ever heard! Absolutely brilliant!
Even better with headphones! Year 2 exiled from the Advent / Christmas musical feast.
Hello again from Knoxville, Tennessee . Of all the seasonal music, Advent is the season I look forward to the most. The Anglican tradition holds the very best selections and is distinct from all the rest. My thanks to you and Caroline again for the contributions you make to so many of us. God be praised and may he bless you and those you love bunches and bunches!
Just listening to these advent hymns makes your heart sing with gladness as another season of Advent comes to a close we can come together in celebrating our Saviors Birth in a few short days
Being blessed as I watch and hear.
I agree to some comments about the difference in the praise sung with solid biblical meanings .
From 🇮🇳 India.
God bless all ae we approach the season of celebration of The Birth of the King,The Lord Jesus Christ.
Welcome to the Christian family Mohammed. May our Lord Jesus richly bless you!🙏
Listening yet again to this glorious music -- hopefully each Sunday night in Advent.
Greetings from a retired organist/choirmaster in North America, just as penniless as the next churchmouse, but your videos always bring joy. Blessed Advent!
Here I come back to these hymns after a very good Year on your channel I am very excited for Advent. Time to choose hymns. Can't wait for my first Advent as Music Director/Organist. Thanks for the beautiful music Richard.
