Favorite Christmas Carols (Religious)

[IamThunderbolt]

my top 3:

O Holy Night
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Honerable mention:
The Friendly Beasts

Songs I love a particular version of:

Christopher Williams does a version of Silent Night to the tune of Christ the Lord is Risen today which is amazing

and Barenaked Ladies/sarah McLaughlin's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

 

[ipitytheblue]

In the Bleak Midwinter

nothing else comes close for me

I saw this live when it originally aired. It is the first time that I can remember actually be moved by music.

My top 3 matches Thunderbolts. I like The First Noel a lot too.

I had to do a rendition of In the Bleak Midwinter about a million times on the Oboe that was ridiculously stupid, so I don't like that one anymore.

 

[DeacHawk]

Oh Come All Ye Faithful
O Holy Night
Do You Hear What I Hear

 

[AttilatheHoo]

O Holy Night as well.

 

[mmedeac]

In the Bleak Midwinter

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Once in Royal David's City

Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabelle

Silent Night (in German)

We Three Kings of Orient Are (brings back great memories of the church Christmas pageant with my brother in a bathrobe with a towel on his head......every year)

 

[PotentPotables]

Oh holy night
Oh come all ye faithful
Angels we have heard on high
Do you hear what i hear

 

[denverpacker]

Oh holy night
Oh come all ye faithful
Angels we have heard on high
Do you hear what i hear

These would be mine also.

 

[DeaconPeach]

In the Bleak Midwinter
Angels We Have Heard On High
O Holy Night
Silent Night (there is nothing more beautiful than singing this at the 11 pm Christmas Eve service with everyone holding a candle)
Joy to the World
Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

 

[DeacdeTejas]

Oh holy night










Oh come all ye faithful
Angels we have heard on high

Silent Night
Joy to the World


Mary Did You Know

 

[kennylogginsfan]

This is best version of this song and my personal all time favorite Christmas song. From the comments on youtube I am not alone.

 

[lbE08]

O Holy Night (Josh Groban singing this gets me every time)
O Come O Come, Emmanuel
Silent Night (especially at the candlelight service, when you raise your candle at 'light')


I really don't dislike any carol, but those three are just awesome. Makes me excited for a Christmas service.

 

[deacz]

Lo How A Rose

 

[IamThunderbolt]

Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabelle

Awesome, although I only know the french version
