Silent Monks Sing the Hallelujah Chorus 

"Did you have a part in the choir?" *"JAH"*

When your whole class can‘t sing, but you still want to win the show.

The fact that the tallest member is the one who has to bend down to do lord of lords and then the shortest person is jumping to reach the frequency that everyone else is holding their signs at is perfect

I know this probably started as a joke, but the fact they did such a good job made it even funnier.

Everybody gangsta until the silent monks start singing.

When the teachers grouped all the Introverts in the classroom

Not the ones moving the signs with their feet, that is pure talent 😂😂 Also the short one jumping everyone their hands go up

Why have I never seen this before, loved it! The “King of kings - Lord of lords” part was just incredible..

“Sign language” has a whole new meaning

Nobody talking about the real hero: The "AND" guy

There are so many little things that make this a true classic. Like how they didn't put the short person in the back row, and instead forced them to jump for the high notes, or how the only person who has to repeatedly bend down, even as their neighbors get to move signs on the ground with their fast, is the tallest. Beautiful.

3:12 "and king of shall" the most inspiring words ive ever read.

Let's take a moment to appreciate how accurately they pulled and changed the cards...

Shoutout to “of” basically doing toe touches the last half of the song.

I remember my grandparents’ church doing this when I was about five years old. It ended up being one of their highlights at their 60th anniversary celebration.

Never experienced the Hallelujah like this before!Praise the Lord!!!

Nobody's gonna talk about how accurately they r showing the cards

Teacher: But it has to be a choir performance! Introverts: Got it

This is like watching a lyric video but better. Absolutely entertaining to watch.

I love it when someone goes out of their way to subtitle the song for me, it’s always lovely to see!

“Which kid is yours?” “The one in Brown!”

"So, what was your part in the song?" "I'm HAL"

This is hilariously genius and had me rolling. Their synchronization is just wholesome. Plus for that young short monk who jumps in high notes 🤣😆👏👏

This is actually quite impressive and it gave me a right tickle too! The Monk having to bend up and down for "Of" took me out🤣

when the little guy jumped up to reach the rest, i *felt* that

Welcome to a video you didn't search for but watched the whole thing.

The Sandpeople are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

Anyone else randomly getting recommended this glorious creation?

"Hey dude! What was your role on the coir?" Monk: *"E"*

RU-vid algorithm: I’m about to *start* this man’s whole career.

As someone who sang this song forever ago, I truly appreciate the creativity and humor. Especially the small kid in the front. Genius

Hahahaha the little wavy/worm movements were so cute, and the person who had the “reign” sign gave me a good giggle when they had to jump to reach as high as the others!! 🤣💖

That jumpy guy

Honestly I’m more impressed with this, rather than if they actually sang

Congratulations, you broke this glorious piece of music for me. I cannot hear it without thinking of these monks and their signs.

In the Spirit of the Performance, one is speechless!

"how did you get those abs?" "I has a great work out as being the OF"

I love how they raise/lower the signs if the note is higher/lower

3:05 close call Edit: the one holding reign

This is a masterpiece that needs to be remembered.

Everyone talking about the short kid but don’t forget about the feet gangsters

I felt it when the short monk was jumping for the high note

What impresses me the most about this is that it doesn’t sound all that funny on paper. But when executed it’s actually really funny. Whoever came up with this must have had quite the imagination.

This is so beautiful to watch. Finally a performance we're both hearing and deaf communities can cherish and enjoy. The last part brought on the tears. Bravo. A lot of time and dedication went into this. Thank you. I'd go to a performance that was just like this.

My heart goes out to the little guy jumping :')

Original, hilarious, difficult to pull off, and strangely respectful. Comedic worship done right. Christian theologians and historians give it 10/10 would recommend.

Having sung this in choir, this is absolutely magnificent

I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this but I laugh my ass off every time they do the King of Kings and Lord of Lords lol the whole performance is brilliantly done

me: “So what part do you sing?” monk: E

Basically fancy subtitles

This is one those videos you don’t search for but still enjoy

Happy 10 year anniversary of this masterpiece

When no one in the music class can actually sing but still want to be apart of the choir

babe: i bet he's out there cheating on me me and the christian boys:

This was shockingly beautiful -- wonderfully choreographed and executed.

This is the ultimate "Me and the boys" answer when the girl thinks "He's probably cheating on me". Thank you Monks, for participating in this. You did it. You mad lads did it, even though it endangered your very sacred vows. I don't know how you could listen to that song without actually singing out loud, but you mad lads did it! The timing was on point. I know that had to be frustrating when first learning this. Mad props to everyone. Especially the smallest one there for his priceless jumps!

Me: god I’m bored RU-vid algorithm: *THIS* Me: why was that exactly what I needed.

I was silently praying ......” Lord pls don’t let them f*** this up “.

I watch this every couple of months. Amazing every time.

Wonderful! It's amazing how much you can convey with just body and sign language!

Me: RU-vid: 7 years ago, a class dressed as silent monks to perform the Hallelujah chorus with signs, here it is and you will love it.

RU-vid: *hey wanna see silent monks sing the Hallelujah chorus from 6 years ago?*

Finally, we have it. *Opened Captions*

A wonderful rendition of a fabulous song, beautifully done, and also one of the funniest things I ever saw! It was all the more entertaining for having been done so well, and for them not taking themselves so seriously. Marvelous!

Monk thoughts: "I took a vow of silence, but I love to sing..." *this video* "Aha, a loophole!"

Imagine being like 90 years old and you’re talking to your grandchildren about how you were once in a choir. “Ah yes...A long time ago I was...E.”

It never gets old to watch.

Imagine all karaoke vids are like this

Deaf people be like: *religion intensifies*

Years and years later and this is still awesome

Periodically the algorithm brings this one back to me, and it always makes me smile.

Teacher: Why didn't you do your homework last night. Me: Its called the internet and mint chip ice cream.

We all know that our favourite one out of all of them is the short dude

So glad this showed up in my recommendations. This was great. Thanks so much for posting it. It really put a smile on my face!! Just wonderful!!

This is so fun to watch that I still somehow come back and watch this again and again!

I found this in my recommended. No regrets.

This is literally the whole class when we're too shy to perform.

So my school choir has a tradition to sing the hallelujah chorus at the end of the winter concert every year and my chorus teacher shows us this video every year! Had my senior year winter chorus concert yesterday but we didn’t have time to watch the whole video so now I am here LOL

It amazes me how on-point they flip over the words

Can we just hire monks for all of our lyric videos?

Nobody: The short monk when they lift the words up high: *LEAPING FOR THE LORD*

for years, every time this has shown up in my reccommended videos, i click

This is just amazing 🥺❤️🙌🏽✨

The funniest part of this is that I never realized what the lyrics of this song was lol.

Me: God, there's nothing good on RU-vid lately God: hold my holy water

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Merry Christmas🎉

How creative! Absolutely loved it!

“I think I need subtitles “ Silent monks: yes

Thumbnail be like: 🎶And he shall reign forever and🎶 _E_

*Amen and they have skills there*

no matter where i go this video seems to find its way back to me. and i love it

Teacher: you can't have good grades if you don't talk Quite kid:

You know, I'm particularly impressed by the toe agility by the first and third monk from the left.

Beautifully done.

been a few years and seen this a few time and it is still one of the best videos ever

forever and *E*

Always wondered what would happen if an order of monks under a vow of silence decided to form a choir.... And now I know. :) Epic.

😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻This is so hilarious. But the way they synchronised the card turning so perfectly with the music is just sheer perfection. It must have taken hours of rehearsal and dedication on their part. Fantastic ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is just wonderful! So creative and executed to perfection❤️ you all made my day, thank you🌈

I am most impressed of the LORD/DOM/SHALL/LORDS guy.
