Every time I hear this song I think of the Christmas truce in 1914 and I almost tear up thinking of what it sounded like in as many as three different languages

As a hard faced and cynical Brit as I am, the very thought of that brings me to tears. God bless all those young men (German, French and British) who 100 years ago gave more to us than they could ever imagined. A truly wonderful Christmas to you and yours.

I remember Brother John Svrcek (FSC) teaching me and my fellow Junior Legionaries (Cause of Our Joy Junior Presidium) at St. John's Institution, Kuala Lumpur this song in German in 1981 or 1982 as we were preparing to perform in at a Curia gathering that year. God Bless you Brother John and may you rest in eternal peace and joy in the bosom of our Lord.

Yes -- I think their dark suits with the gold ties are perfect, especially in that fairly plain setting that somehow conveys peace and simplicity with the blue and red light and the Christmas tree. (The blue and red lighting reminds me of stained glass windows at Chartres cathedral.) The suits with the gold tie draws my eyes to the faces of the singers and somehow makes the singing all the focus. It is, for me, as though the six singers are finding a divine source of music at their centers and pulling it out of that hidden world into our world so that we can have an experience of the divine.

@@machinespirit4202 the German lyrics are the original ones. In German it's "einsam wacht nur das traute hochheilige Paar, holder Knabe im lockigen Haar". If you translate it word for word it's "only the married holy couple lonely watches the fair boy with curly hair " (the German lyric uses old words and old grammar, so it sounds pretty good in German). As you can see, it sounds pretty shitty, if you translate it word for word, so the dude who had to translate it ignored Joseph and only wrote "mother and child" instead of "the married holy couple "
