Carrie Underwood released the live version of “O Come All Ye Faithful” for her fans to enjoy just in time for Christmas.
On Thursday, December 18, Underwood shared a video on her YouTube channel of her singing the classic Christmas hymn. The performance originally appeared in her HBO Max holiday special, My Gift: A Christmas Special from Carrie Underwood.
The special was released in 2020, shortly after the singer put out her very first Christmas album, My Gift. The album includes eight classic carols and three original songs.
If you haven’t had the chance to watch Underwood’s Christmas special, now is the perfect time to see her take on one of the most beloved holiday hymns.
“O Come All Ye Faithful” dates back hundreds of years and has been credited to several authors. The earliest known printed version appeared in a book published by John Francis Wade in the mid-1700s, according to Hymnary.
The song originally had four verses, but it was later expanded to eight and translated into many different languages. In 1841, English Catholic priest Fredrick Oakeley translated it into English, helping it become popular in English-speaking countries
During her performance, Underwood takes center stage in a stunning white tulle gown that sparkles under the lights. The setup around her is simple. However, her powerful voice and the hymn’s lyrics make it an unforgettable moment for anyone watching.
Just a few days before, Carrie Underwood surprised churchgoers with an unannounced performance of “O Holy Night” & “All Is Well.”
Not only did she release her performance of “O Come All Ye Faithful,” but last week Underwood made a surprise appearance at her church in Tennessee for its annual Christmas program.
She took the stage to sing two other classic songs, “O Holy Night” and “All Is Well.”
