Carpenters, The - Christ Is Born Lyrics






It is he
Christ who is born today
Hear him crying
In the manger
King of Heaven
Son of God
Alleluia, Alleluia

There he lies
There with the lambkin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his Holy Mother Mary
Alleluia, Alleluia

Glory, Glory to almighty God
And on earth peace to all men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Alleluia, Alleluia

He is born
Let us adore him
Christ the Lord
King of Kings
Prince of Peace
For all the universe
Alleluia, Alleluia

Carpenters, The Christ Is Born Comments
  1. S.... B....

    Merry Christmas. Christ is born!!

  2. H.... S....

    What an inspiring classic by this great group.

  3. J.... W....

    The quality of this video sucks! But what a beautiful song, performed by an extraordinarily talented woman, who passed away far too soon. RIP, Karen--thanks for all the wonderful music.😔💒

  4. D.... S....

    Such a beautiful voice. She died too young, anorexia took her.

  5. A.... F....

    Beautiful tribute to Christ. Her voice is perfection.

  6. V.... F....

    Karen Carpenter ⭐⭐⭐🌼🌻🏵️🌸🌺🌷🥀🌹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍❤️❤️♥️♥️💯💯

  7. j.... a....

    Karen is praising God in Heaven with this beautiful hymn.

  8. M.... M....

    Who would dislike this...

  9. C.... H....

    You were just pushed too far! I can understand!

  10. C.... H....

    You did your best!

  11. C.... H....

    Love you Karen!

  12. R.... S....

    Beautiful beyond words! But also bizarre, Karen and Richard miming this sweet Christmas song while visibly lost in the clouds of quaaludes and already far too thin.

  13. G.... R....

    Happy birthday karen. Your voice is very unique..no one can replace. I love you.

  14. C.... F....

    12/11/18. !C'est magnifique! I feel a lump in my throat. Written by Ray Charles, too? I'm left speechless......at how even MORE talented some of the greats, who have died, were!!!

    C.... F....

    I didn't know about Ray Charles. Indeed, great talents together about the greatest Gift.

  15. n.... l....

    I must have heard this number 1000 times and sadly Karen is lip syncing, not one note different from this album!!

  16. S.... I....

    What a voice she had. She will always be missed.

  17. F.... F....

    2018 here I am enjoying the magic of Karen Carpenters voice.

  18. t.... ....

    One of her finest vocal performances ever along with the "Ave Maria" from the same album.

  19. M.... Y....

    Nice 🌹😋😊

  20. J.... M....

    The comment below is true. Her voice is so melodious. It brings tears to ones eyes!

  21. D.... Q....

    Karen Anne Carpenter the Queen of Christmas songs, Soft Rock, and anything composed..her voice, range, occutives and unique projection, makes it impossible to copy..God bless, you Karen, and Happy 68th Birthday.

    D.... Q....

    If Madonna is the Queen of Pop, Karen Carpenter is the Goddess of Pop.

  22. T.... ....

    "...peace to all men."? It's really "...peace to men of good will." That's the difference between Protestant and Catholic. That's why her husband did what he did to her. As Luther said "When you sin, sin boldly" Uh? I hope this wonderful voice understood that before she left the world.

    T.... ....

    @Truth - And do your own words promote peace? Do they bring healing to the grieving family of this lady? Jesus came to bring peace to all mankind. In Luke 2:14 the angel said "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." That angelic greeting was meant for every man; it's just that many did not choose to accept Him or His message. Speak the truth in love and you shall find the peace of God.

  23. M.... A....

    Que voz!

  24. E.... R....

    Beautiful, like an ANGEL. <3 ;)

  25. W.... L....

    I wish Abba had a Christmas album too

  26. J.... T....

    Karen signing in Heaven, and Richard playing and orchestrating. Looking forward to hearing that when I'm there one beautiful day...

  27. C.... W....

    One of my favourite christmas songs. And very beautifully done by one of the greatest singers

  28. g.... ....

    No mere human could possess a voice like this. That's it, she WAS an angel!

  29. B.... M....

    thanx again for putting this on

  30. K.... L....

    Sing Cosby sang this in THE BELLS OF SAINT MARY's. I was just a little girl, the first time I watched that movie, and cried when he sang this. I grew up to be a singer and it was because of watching musicals on TV as well as loving Al Jolson and Bing Crosby; who had sch unique voices, I knew that I new, I wanted to do that. To sing my heart out. I've sang in Christian Musicals, and there's nothing better then this; knowing that to be a soloist, it's t glory God who bestowed such a wonderful talent upon me:- anointed to sing. To not life myself up, but only JESUS CHRIST; King of Kings and Lord Of Lords. This will always be one of my favourite songs.

  31. M.... J....

    Karen at her finest no other voice even matches there versions of Christmas music is legendary now thank God for cds

  32. M.... F....

    Such pureness and perfection. My personal all time favourite female vocalist by far. Much love. <3

  33. S.... K....

    I heard this song back in the early 80s and to this day it's my favorite Christmas song.  I don't believe anyone could sing it more beautiful than Karen Carpenter.  I really miss her.

  34. S.... ....

    An unparalleled voice like Elvis'. Waiting to hear them once again in heaven

  35. J.... S....

    Superb...never heard this one. So beautiful, so true.

  36. M.... B....

    That last note is just amazing

  37. F.... S....

    This is such a gorgeous song and so beautifully sung and arranged.

  38. p.... d....

    JOHN 14: 6 "JESUS SAID TO HIM, 'I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.' "

  39. O.... ....

    Just beautiful...

  40. c.... ....

    Thanks for this video, quite rare -- I've never seen it...Karen reminds me of Celine Dion here...

  41. B.... B....

    I'm posting today, Easter Day, at my Facebook page: oamoresperaquevoceoencontre.

  42. a.... ....

    Great, great song. Singing Jesus's highest praises.

    a.... ....

    And why not an angel singing to her heavenly father such a pure beautiful voice

  43. R.... L....

    Does Richard have children who sing?

    R.... L....

    I can not stand him

  44. G.... a....

    she was a very beautiful woman, and that remarkable voice was too much

  45. B.... S....

    This still brings tears to my eyes. RIP beautiful Karen 💜

  46. B.... S....

    I don't understand how anyone can dislike this. 3 people are jerks.

    B.... S....

    yah. they don't like a beautiful song sung by an exquisitely beautiful voice. go figure. actually, now 7 dislikes. grrrrrrrrr.

    B.... S....

    No1KCfan6 So correct! Sad the dislikes have increased. My fondest childhood AND Christmas memories are of hearing Karen's beautiful voice. Glad you and others appreciate her as well ❤

  47. n.... l....

    I recall her brother saying 'the money' was in the basement, and she had a gorgeous lower register, but this videoproves , imho at least, that her lovely god given sounding voice, had plenty of beauty ( money if you want to put it tha way) in the upper one too ;_) we miss you Karen, thank god its here for future generations too.

  48. g.... ....

    What a shame ...................gone......what a shame, shame

  49. g.... ....

    Its the voice of an Angel singing God's story..A gift fromGod

  50. B.... P....

    Best Christmas artist, make that best artist of our time.

    B.... P....

    +Bruce Powell 👍👍👍I agree. It isn't Christmas until I listen to A Christmas Portrait 💚

  51. M.... M....

    Am I the only one who really hears the magical uniqueness of her voice? Does not listening to that voice of hers, send chills up and down every one of your spines?

    M.... M....

    +Moses Maimon. Thank your for your sincere and kind complements to Karen Carpenter. Karen's heart was full of goodness and love and it showed in her wonderful singing. Karen was a very rare human being -- truly an "Angel on Earth". I love and miss Karen very much.

    M.... M....

    Her voice is unique, never will be other like hers. Simply amazing!

    M.... M....

    She's angelic---it's true

    M.... M....

    theres a name for it..its called perfection

    M.... M....

    No such thing as magic. Magic is of Satan. The Spirit of God who sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus defeated Satan at the cross and conquered death. He gave us the Greatest gift of everlasting life in Heaven. Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus. Emanuel. HALLELUJAH to the Lamb of God.

  52. p.... a....

    My  all time favorite  Xmas  song.  Karen  has  the voice of an angel,  and  I  am  sure  she  is  still singing. 

  53. R.... M....

    I still have wonderful childhood memories of the Carpenters music and I'm still blessed to have all my records from that time of my life, thank you I'm very blessed to have grown up with hearing the greatest female voice ever, i still listen to Karen she will always have a special place in my heart.

  54. a.... h....

    so very beautiful so very karen. love you darling. xxx.

  55. J.... J....

    never heard this song before.  LOVE IT!!!  such a beautiful rendition by Karen!  Thankyou for posting!  Merry Christmas to you!

  56. f.... ....

    Thank you, Lord. for Karen and Richard's talent and Karen's sublime voice. Truly one of the greatest female voices ever. Her music is constantly with me and when she sings sacred music, it is the voice of an angel singing.

    f.... ....

    WATCH THE CARPENTERS ON THE ROCK N ROLL SPECIAL. WATCH HER EYES AND TEETH. YOU SAID IT, 'ANGEL'.

  57. D.... D....

    Christ was the greatest gift that God ever gave to humanity, and Karen Carpenter's sweet, pure & unpretentious vocals and beautiful spirit was certainly one of the greatest gifts that He gave to our generation. May her heart now be filled with the tremendous joy that her awesome gift left to all of us now in heaven... Love you always and forever Karen.:)

    D.... D....

    Jesus defeated Satan at the cross. Jesus conquered death and gave us the Greatest gift of everlasting life in Heaven. Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus. Emanuel. HALLELUJAH to the Lamb of God.

  58. j.... ....

    What a beautiful rendition of this song.

  59. D.... ....

    Listen to Karen singing " Little Altar Boy" Put your headphones on and prepare for a life changing event.

  60. D.... Z....

    The best singer ever!!!!!

  61. a.... k....

    I never get tired listening to her singing with so much emotion.. Karen Carpenter had one of the best voices I have ever heard.

  62. p.... b....

    Listen to how she holds those notes, terrific!

  63. m.... ....

    so amazing.

  64. G.... ....

    I hear this song every single day at work during the Xmas season and I had no idea that it was Karen until today. I thought the voice sounded familiar, so i checked it out.

  65. D.... G....

    This is absolutely gorgeous.

  66. A.... M....

    When Christmas comes each year, I always listen to this song. Decades have passed, and I have never forgotten the memory of buying a Christmas Portrait or the immense sorrow I felt when Karen died. Life is precious and short, and we are so enriched to still have that voice come back to us in all of it plaintiveness, inspiring us to remember what Christmas is all about.

  67. J.... K....

    From 2:58 it feels likes she whispers to my soul to wake up, I don't know how to explain it...

  68. D.... O....

    As usual a beautiful Christmas Carol sung by a beautiful singer that was beautifully done.

  69. p.... a....

    The voice of an angel.

  70. B.... C....

    I heard this music several time.Like her a lot. The Carpenters Brothers're high-level.There is no voice equal. Karen was a wonderful woman.

  71. g.... ....

    She was and always will be an angel and has been singing with them and will forever.

  72. g.... ....

    I love and have loved the Carpenters since the early 70's and it pains me to see how skinny she was in everyone of her video's. She used to be a very vibrant young woman and was very talented. There will never be another Karen Carpenter. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs they did. I will always love you Karen.

  73. F.... S....

    Here, in my city christmas will arrive too. And I' ll say merry christmas in December 25, 2012 too.

  74. J.... S....

    Timing is perfect, too.

  75. A.... ....

    Karen had a voice from Heaven. It's too bad that she couldn't beat the demon in her life, i.e., Anorexia and Bulmia Nervosa. Winter I play music from The Carpenters. I wish Richard would really get involved and active in the plight against ED. I know he was on the Board of ANAD. I struggled with Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa, dealt with the root cause, and I beat the odds. I've been in recovery 1994's. I've been in advocate since 2003. There's still a lot to to do. ED effects the entire family.

  76. n.... ....

    Thank you very much for posting this great video. I believe Karen's worshipful tone she used here and in singing "Silent Night" is present nowhere else.

  77. M.... H....

    Somebody should photo shop Ted Cassidy's head & super impose it onto Richard in this video. He looks so much like Lurch (the way he played the harpsichord).

  78. G.... a....

    There will never be another Karen Carpenter, she was the best!

  79. p.... a....

    I cry every time I listen to this song. Karen Carpenter has the voice of an angel. Thank you Karen. God Bless.

  80. e.... ....

    Oh God, what is that part of my soul that this voice is touching so gently?

  81. M.... R....

    I was distracted by her eyebrows....

  82. m.... ....

    Karen is the best female singer who ever lived, PURE MAGIC! people 100 years from now will still be listening to her magical voice. Karen was an angel on earth. :) WE MISS YOU SO MUCH KAREN

  83. D.... F....

    God be praised. She sings from her diaphram and she sings wonderfully. Good way to praise God.

  84. N.... ....

    (cont.) but i do cherish the ones that she did record. her voice seems to me to sound especially warm and sweet in their christmas music, as if there's a warm glow surrounding it.

    oh, well. thanks again.

  85. N.... ....

    thanks again, ned. you're a nifty fellow. (am i too young, at 41, to talk like that? LOL) anyway thanks again for that information. i searched the web hi and lo and couldn't find "away in a manger," and i assumed it was because karen didn't sing on it. to be honest, if it's just an instrumental, i don't really care about it lol. i just want to hear karen's luscious voice. it really is a stinking SHAME that karen didn't sing (didn't get to sing) more christmas songs (cont.)

  86. N.... ....

    off topic. sorry. does anyone know if in the carpenters version of "away in a manger" karen sings or not? i can't find it anywhere on youtube or anywhere else on the net, for that matter, and i figure maybe that's just because it's an instrumental or something.

  87. N.... ....

    i've changed my mind. after listening to this a few times, i have acquired a taste for it, and i like it very much. it's beautiful.

  88. N.... ....

    i'm not nuts about this song, but karen's vocals are stunning.

  89. M.... T....

    Karen makes every song better yes you are right it is her favorite time of the year. Wish she was here now bet she would still be doing christmas specials. Really miss her.

  90. B.... M....

    THANX AGAIN FOR PUTTING THIS ON , KARENS FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS : )

  91. B.... N....

    Forever beautiful, inside and out. Merry Christmas in Heaven, Karen.

  92. I.... T....

    I cant believe how BEAUTIFUL this song is! It really sums up the meaning of Christmas..more than any other carol....the tune ... the words...the way Karen sings ...drives me to tears every time! God keep you Karen....now you sing for Our Lord and his Angels!

  93. T.... ....

    Karen's inner sadness seems to go away when she sings about Jesus. It is so wonderful to see the joy of the Lord in her during Christmas time, evidenced in the Carpenters Christmas songs. Glory to God.

  94. K.... P....

    A heaven sent voice - returned to heaven much too soon.

  95. A.... B....

    Beautiful....I'm sure Christ is pretty happy with Karen in Heaven

  96. L.... K....

    Theis may not be really clear picture wise, - but the sound beats the other one I listened to. This makes you feel as if you have died and entered Heaven it is so beautiful!
    I will always miss Karen so much!
