1:23 "Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear. Suddenly the Lord descending, In his tеmple shall appear" Lord, yes Jesus! Come quickly! I pray to see that wonderful day!
I really like singing along - David is easy to sing with - Thank you for honoring our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ and our Beloved Heavenly Father.
It is such a treat to see and hear David Archuleta! His voice is so pure and beautiful! This whole performance is spectacular! I appreciate a true Christmas performance giving glory to Jesus our Lord and Savior!
+Susan Cluff This is the proper way to celebrate Christmas! These days there is too much materialism and distraction to the true and only meaning of Christmas, ie celebrating the birth of our one True God, Jesus Christ!
I have loved the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Music since childhood. That makes it more than 50years It's so uplifting. Thank you for your music ministry GOD BLESS YOU
Angels from the Realms of Glory" is a Christmas carol written by Scottish poet James Montgomery.[sung to the French carol tune "Iris"(Les anges dans nos campagnes, the tune used for "Angels We Have Heard on High")
1 Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. [Chorus] Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song? Chorus] Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. 3. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Chorus] Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (December 15), I filled in at a local Presbyterian Church. I played this as the Hymn of Dedication. However, it was to the tune, REGENT SQUARE, composed by Henry Thomas Smart.
The words are from 'Angels from the Realms of Glory'. The tune is mostly from Angels We Have Heard on High; that's how Mack Wilberg arranged it. Also, this is only part of the full song, which has all four verses of 'Realms of Glory'. This song was shortened in order to fit within the broadcast time of Music and the Spoken Word, since the whole program has to fit under a half hour.
David, you might not see this. but, Big Fan!! From Somethin Bout Love until now., That both are the best.Hwever Other people might know you earlier than that. Haha. Merry Christmas Everyone. ! GBU
je ne suis pas croyante mais je crois à quelque chose au dessus de nous, superbe orchestre et magnifique chorale, vous êtes tous merveilleux. Je vous écoute souvent depuis que je vous ai découvert sur youtube, c'est beau et ça me rend triste aussi car vos chants sont beaux et puissants. Bisous de Normandie
Lieber Tabernakel Chor. Für die schönen Gesänge des letztens Jahres möchte ich mich herzlichst bedanken und Euch allen jeden Einzelnen einen gesegneten Jahreswechsel mit Gott wünschen. Alles alles Liebe. Würde mich auch 2019 über Videos von Euch freuen. Gottes reichen Segen Engelschutz und Beistand. Im Gebet verbunden Eure dankbare Christel 🙏🐱🐈🍬🎇
This is so beautiful, you guys should also watch the performance of this song by the piano guys, it features peter hollens, david, the choir and many other people! It is so beautiful.
So good.. And normally I hate Christmas carols. But there is an exception to every rule. (They're not really so bad in June I just don't like to hear them over and over every year from the last Monday in November through the first Monday in January.) Gotta see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir....
Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light: [Chorus:] Gloria in excelsis deo 1 Gloria in excelsis deo Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star; [Chorus] Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear: Though an Infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father’s throne, Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down: [Chorus] Gloria Deo.

I have always wished that "the provbial they" would just let him sing in his natural register ... it was his "very clean" looks which gave him the popularity ... He deserves to be respected for his serious musical performance which i truly believe he has. My ears tell me he is a true baritone. Bless him!
Angels, from the Realms of Glory. . . On Christmas Eve, 1816, the Sheffield Iris contained a fine Christmas poem entitled Angels, from the Realms of glory. The subscribers noted that the author of the poem was James Montgomery, editor of the Iris. They were not surprised that such a fine poem had been penned by the editor of their newspaper, for Montgomery had already distinguished himself as being one of the best sacred poets of England. Lord Byron once described him as being "a man of considerable genius", and Prof. Wilson predicted in the Blackwood's Magazine that his poems would live. Quoting Wilson's statement: "His poetry will live for he has a heart and imagination profound. .. It is as sincere as it is beautiful". That the prediction was well founded, is proved by the fact that over one hundred of Montgomery's hymns are still in use. James Montgomery was educated for the ministry, but he resisted the thought of becoming a minister. He drifted into journalism and soon became editor of The Sheffield Iris, a liberal journal. Montgomery was himself a vigorous liberal,being twice imprisoned for his views. In 1789 (the year of the outbreak of the French Revolution) he was sentenced to prison for three months for having printed a poem, The Bastille, surmounted by a woodcut representing Liberty and the British Lion. The inspiring melody for Montgomery's Christmas hymn was composed by Henry T. Smart, member of a family which had for three generations been prominent in the musical life of England. It was composed in 1867 during the latter part of his life, when he was so blind that the composition had to be committed to paper through dictation. Written by: James Montgomery, 1816 Composed by: Henry Smart, 1867 Merry Christmas to All! Lynnae Larson
I see I am not the only one who noticed...this is not Angels from the Realm of Glory. This is Angels We Have Heard on High. Still nice performance. Just have it under the wrong title.
No, it's the song. It's just arranged differently and it starts on the second verse and ends with the third. Still pretty, though. You can always google the lyrics to the song and follow along like I did because I too thought it was Angels We Have Heard on High. They use the UK version and tune.
But the text is the text of "Angels from the Realm of Glory." "Angels from the Realm of Glory set to the melody of Angels We Have Heard on High" is too long of a track title for a CD.
No, this IS "Angels from the Realms of Glory," at least one version of it. Portions of the lyrics and the melody are reused throughout different Christmas carols.
This isn't Angels From the Realms of Glory. It goes "come and worship Christ the newborn king. Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o'er all the earth." This is Angels We Have Heard on High.
Well, it is partially. Someone arranged the music and added some lyrics, but the lyrics are consistent with most of those from Angels, From the Realms of glory.
They use a different version. This is what I found when I looked on wikipedia. "Before 1928, the hymn was sung to a variety of tunes, including "Regent Square", "Lewes" by John Randall, and "Wildersmouth" or "Feniton Court" by Edward Hopkins. In the United States, the hymn is today most commonly sung to the tune of "Regent Square" by Henry Smart. In the United Kingdom, however, the hymn came to be sung to the French carol tune "Iris" (Les anges dans nos campagnes, the tune used for "Angels We Have Heard on High") after this setting was published in the Oxford Book of Carols. Sometimes the "Gloria in excelsis Deo" refrain is sung in place of Montgomery's original lyric: "Come and worship Christ the new-born King". On A Christmas Cornucopia, Annie Lennox sings this song but substitutes "Gloria in excelsis Deo" for the "Come and worship Christ the new-born King" refrain." ---In other words, the tune was only set in the 1920s in America and even then, it's different in the UK. They also substitute "Gloria in excelsis Deo" for the chorus/refrain. Apparently, Annie Lennox started this and she seems to be from the UK. Hope this helps and that you can still enjoy the song^^
1:23 "Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear. Suddenly the Lord descending, In his tеmple shall appear" Lord, yes Jesus! Come quickly! I pray to see that wonderful day!
You will, from one side of the veil or the other.
The climactic “gather all the nations to him” is one of the best Tabernacle Choir moments. Period.
I KNOW it was so cool!!
righttt its my fav part
Wow beautiful...lovely voices...God is love😘
Amen!
This rendition ALWAYS brings the Spirit of our Lord into my heart and enriches my soul.
I really like singing along - David is easy to sing with - Thank you for honoring our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ and our Beloved Heavenly Father.
It is such a treat to see and hear David Archuleta! His voice is so pure and beautiful! This whole performance is spectacular! I appreciate a true Christmas performance giving glory to Jesus our Lord and Savior!
One of the best choir performances I have seen.
For sure!! I've been going every year and this by far is my favorite!!! 😃
I absolutely adore this beautiful tribute to the Savior of the World.
+Susan Cluff This is the proper way to celebrate Christmas! These days there is too much materialism and distraction to the true and only meaning of Christmas, ie celebrating the birth of our one True God, Jesus Christ!
Haven’t heard this song since the last time I went to Christmas mass with my Poppop. Going on 3 years now. I miss you every day ❤️
grandios gesungen.david und der mormonenchor at his best.wunderbar gesungen

Angels from the Realms of Glory" is a Christmas carol written by Scottish poet James Montgomery.[sung to the French carol tune "Iris"(Les anges dans nos campagnes, the tune used for "Angels We Have Heard on High")
Extremely beautifull sound of this giant Chorus. Like in a Heaven feeling cloud

Why your joyous strains prolong?

I liked it better the 1st year he sang that same song with them & that little glitch in his voice - showed how emotional & special it was to him!
Yes, blessed be God in His Angels and in His saints. Alleluia!

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:
[Chorus:]
Gloria in excelsis deo 1
Gloria in excelsis deo
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star;
[Chorus]
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:
Though an Infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father’s throne,
Gather all the nations to Him;
Every knee shall then bow down:
[Chorus]
Gloria Deo.
Thank you!

Now THAT'S how you end a song. Dang son.
P.S. Didn't know about this alternate name for the song, gonna have to check out the history behind that.
+The Elven Jedi: usually there's a different melody for "Angels from the Realms of Glory."
They went with the UK version, not the American one from what I've found.
I have always wished that "the provbial they" would just let him sing in his natural register ... it was his "very clean" looks which gave him the popularity ... He deserves to be respected for his serious musical performance which i truly believe he has. My ears tell me he is a true baritone. Bless him!
is very amazing
Good job

The Choir's symbol is from the organ pipes that backgrounds the choir loft.

Únicos!!!!!

Catholics sing excelsis deo
You're absolutely correct!
I miss him a lot...
Hermoso!
😍😍 Gloria
That was awsome!
I love his performance but why did they leave out the opening verse?
❤❤
wow.
Aleluya
This is NOT "Angels, from the Realms of Glory" this is "Gloria in Excelsis Deo"
+Amarella Harte You are absolutely right! This is always part of our Holy Catholic Christmas Mass. Thank you for pointing this out.
See my reply to +alamedavigilante. It explains some things about the arrangement of the song that they sing.
they were saying exshellis! my latin teacher gave me hell for saying it that way
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH.
Who is on that top note. They're perfect
Title is wrong. They are performing Angels we Have Heard on HIgh. ...from the Realms of Glory " has different words in the chorus.
They use a different version. This is what I found when I looked on wikipedia. "Before 1928, the hymn was sung to a variety of tunes, including "Regent Square", "Lewes" by John Randall, and "Wildersmouth" or "Feniton Court" by Edward Hopkins.
