Sometimes, just sometimes, youtube recommendations actually provide me with a video which I have not only never seen, but also am amazed by. This is one of those rare times.
Who are the 6 tin-eared maniacs who gave this beautiful performance a thumbs down? I guess there really are people in the world who just hate beautiful things. Anyway, this is sublime musicianship from all involved, and I feel very blessed to get to hear them play live occasionally at church.
This is how I like Doyle's guitar playing the best. In a group setting his playing elevates all around him to a brand new height. Doyle's solo playing is magnificent but, in a group composition it rises to a whole new level!
I never tire of listening to this beautiful arrangement. Haley’s voice is a gift to us all. Jake’s contribution is wonderful, and Doyle is simply one of the best ever. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful.. My wife and I saw Doyle last night in Tucson and were amazed with his talent and dedication. Haley your voice is so clean and clear... beautiful!!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful gift. Doyle, your arrangement is just stellar. Haley your voice is heavenly, and Jacob way to support and add the 3rd dimension to the audio spectrum. Killer!!!
How could someone give a negative on this? I was blessed to have Doyle play while is was playing and singing in Newark California. We were both young then :). He made me sound great lol. A memory I will always keep in my heart. Just great people.
I think I've listened to this ten times. I have loved this song for a long time and this is such a beautiful arrangement. Haley's voice draws you into the music and the meaning of the song.
Haley was withn her dad in Fairview PA for a Taylor show many years ago. What a talented family and Doyle is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I told him I was going home and smash my guitars after hearing him! He said " oh don't do that you enjoy paying don't you "?? Yes I do and am thankful I did not smash them ! GOD BLESS THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY !!!
Simply a beautiful blending of the voice( Haley) with the instrumentals. Always a pleasure to hear Doyle, Haley and her relatively " new" husband, Jake. I love this family..they truly are so talented. Can't wait to see them in concert again.
I've always loved this song, but this version is my new favorite. Haley's voice is clear and pure, the musical accompaniment is beautiful in that it is so well done, but perfectly unadorned.
Just three beautiful 'instruments' -- alone together. I track this one down at RUclips each Christmas, wondering 'Will it still bring me to tears?' Sure enough! Tears of Joy -- the best kind, right? apart from those that flow from a contrite heart. Thanks, Doyle and Haley and Jake for the 'uplift' in our spirits! Have a blessed Christmas!

Thank you Doyle for putting this one up. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more beautiful rendition of that song in all my 63 years, including working in my dad’s on location recording business. Wow… see you on the 16th- super excited to maybe shake your hand (I won’t hold you to that. Just one of those imaginations in my mind lol)
Tremendous rendition. Just a really excellent and exquisite rendition. Ranks amongst the best here on RUclips. Thank you all for your masterful musicianship.
Finally an incredible RUclips video with zero dislikes. I guess even the trolls couldn't bring themselves to push the 'thumbs down' button on perfection.
Amazing as usual - loved it when you dropped by my favorite music store a few weeks ago and played for everyone. Thanks for being an inspiration - in many ways - to me and I'm sure many others. :-)
Merry Christmas. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. John 1: 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
This song freaking rules. I tried to decipher the lyrics w/ the help of the Sarah McLachlan version. In the bleak mid winter. Icy wind made moan. Earth stood hard, as Iron. Water like a stone. Snow on snow, had fallen. Snow, on snow on snow. In the bleak mid winter. Long and long ago. Angels and Archangels, may have gathered there. Cherubim and Seriphim, rising in the air. Oh the only Mary, in her maiden bliss. Worship the beloved, with a mothers kiss. Heaven cannot hold him, nor can Earth sustain. Heaven and Earth shall fall away. When he comes to reign. What then can I give him? Empty as I am? If I were a shepherd. I would bring a lamb. If I were a wise man. I would know my part. What then, can I give him? (breath) I must give my heart.

You don't have to wait until heaven to hear what an angels voice is like because you just heard it.

I keep coming back to this video. Absolutely beautiful.
Back after 7 years and I'm still speechless.....
im sure he must be so proud to play with his daughter and son in law..it made me cry its so beautiful..
I never tire of listening to this beautiful arrangement. Haley’s voice is a gift to us all. Jake’s contribution is wonderful, and Doyle is simply one of the best ever. Thank you!
Stunning guitar from Doyle, stunning vocal from Haley and ably supported by Jacob on double bass.The best version of this song I've ever heard.
Absolutely beautiful.. My wife and I saw Doyle last night in Tucson and were amazed with his talent and dedication. Haley your voice is so clean and clear... beautiful!!!!!

Best of the best !!!! Feeding Souls. God Bless all of you
December 2018 and it still sends shivers up and down my spine !!
It just doesn't get any better than this.
extremely, EXTREMELY underrated.
Late in life, asked if there was someone he would pay to see, Chet Atkins told an interviewer: "Oh yes, someone like Doyle Dykes."
How could someone give a negative on this? I was blessed to have Doyle play while is was playing and singing in Newark California. We were both young then :). He made me sound great lol. A memory I will always keep in my heart. Just great people.
the feel and beauty of this made me cry
I love Haley's voice !
My new favourite Christmas carol! Gorgeous playing and singing, a beautiful treatment. Thank you!
I revisit this clip every year around the holidays. It's brilliant and holds up year after year. Sick talent in that family.
Thank you doyle...
Haley sings like an angel
I think I've listened to this ten times. I have loved this song for a long time and this is such a beautiful arrangement. Haley's voice draws you into the music and the meaning of the song.
Beautful!!! And such a beautiful voice!!! 🎶
Stunningly beautiful!
Wonderful!!!
Wow, so glad I found this. Beautiful! Thanks.

Once again a beautiful performance done by king Doyle with his guitar and princess Hailey🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Loved it!❤❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I love the great playing by Doyle, Jake, and the beautiful voice you have Haley. Always have liked you guys and your good music. :)
An Anointing that only music, only music like this, can bring.
Never seen Doyle play an Olson. What a great duo!
Beautiful custom made for him. Should never leave his sight.
He recently acquired his new favorite an OLSON with a cutaway. I believe he said he had to "sell a couple of guitars" to get it.
Such a beautiful rendition ❤❤❤ it moves my soul!
Gorgeous! Beautiful to hear this musical gift from Father and Daughter. God Bless you and your family.
Simply a beautiful blending of the voice( Haley) with the instrumentals. Always a pleasure to hear Doyle, Haley and her relatively " new" husband, Jake. I love this family..they truly are so talented. Can't wait to see them in concert again.
This is one of the gems of RUclips!
I've always loved this song, but this version is my new favorite. Haley's voice is clear and pure, the musical accompaniment is beautiful in that it is so well done, but perfectly unadorned.
An anointing, Lord have mercy...
Crazy talent in that family!
Angels only wish they could sing like this.
WOW!!! I love my LR Baggs in my Timberline!
WOW...Superb...!!!
My sweet Lord, how I love this song. Wonderful Doyle, thank you.

Non-believer, but I still love this song and especially this performance of it. 👍🏻❤️
My favorite comment .... for reasons I can't put into words.
Lovely! Relocate to Nashville, TN.
This is the best! ♥
Merry Christmas.

Gorgeous performance beautifully filmed.
Well done.
so beautiful
We are doing this in a church on Dartmoor, Devon UK,
on 21st. Dec. 2 guitars and 2 voices in harmony
Beautiful❤️❤️
That’s nice music.
Love this Haley. Reminded me that we traded CD’s a few years ago. 2009+- ...?
Godbumps!
This song freaking rules. I tried to decipher the lyrics w/ the help of the Sarah McLachlan version.
In the bleak mid winter.
Icy wind made moan.
Earth stood hard, as Iron.
Water like a stone.
Snow on snow, had fallen.
Snow, on snow on snow.
In the bleak mid winter.
Long and long ago.
Angels and Archangels, may have gathered there.
Cherubim and Seriphim, rising in the air.
Oh the only Mary, in her maiden bliss.
Worship the beloved,
with a mothers kiss.
Heaven cannot hold him, nor can Earth sustain.
Heaven and Earth shall fall away.
When he comes to reign.
What then can I give him?
Empty as I am?
If I were a shepherd.
I would bring a lamb.
If I were a wise man.
I would know my part.
What then, can I give him?
(breath) I must give my heart.
+peeweesherman Thank you for posting the words
A beautiful arrangement

this is perfect music
Beautiful
Glory to God!!!

dear God she can sing
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing is a word that is often overused to to describe something. . .but in this case, it fits!
Doyle the Olson guitar sounds amazing, ditch the trebly Guild?
The Heavenly x-acto
sounds grrrreeaaatttt,, is that an olson?
typical doyle no mistakes
olson--- drop d? sacrilege lol sounds great tho
He is not listening to Haley
Doyle is a great player, but I don't think the tone from the LR Baggs LB6 is anything special in this video. The K&K system sounds better.
I love this song! Beautifully done all the way around. Haley, you have an amazing voice!
Beautiful
