If humans singing it is beautiful, imagine the choir of angels praising the Lord!! And one day we’ll join them worshiping our Lord! ❤

"A standing tradition: Audience members usually rise to their feet when the famous "Hallelujah" chorus begins. Supposedly King George II was so moved during the London premiere of the Messiah that he stood and then everyone else in the theater followed so as not to offend him." Since then , everyone stands for this masterpiece.

"And He shall reign for ever and ever." What a masterpiece. G. F. Handel was indeed a legendary composer.

All my entire life (I"ll be 76 in January) our church choir has sung this. As a small child I'd get goose bumps. I still do but my eyes well up with tears. Majestic. Thank you for this!

Amazing Hallelujah. Praise God. Never tire of something that lifts the heart

Indeed this is a work of devine inspiration. It is said that Handel wept and claimed to have seen a heavenly vision when he composed this chorus. Everytime I hear this chorus I wish to be in that same spirit. This is not the work of art, this work the work of God. Soli Deo Gloria
