Hello there. Does any of you know the name and words (are the words in hymns lyrics?) for the Christmas hymn sung by the boys' choir? Also, do you know where I could obtain a hard copy or an electronic copy of the sheet music for the hymn - I live in the UK.

Many thanks indeed, ronedmund.
shareI don't know the name, but I love the Mitchell Boy's Choir rendition in this film- it is truly heavenly.
I wonder why the answering post was deleted?
The Soundtrack page has it listed as:
"Noël"
(Montez à Dieu)
by Charles Gounod
Sung by the boys' choir
I was not able to find the lyrics, but an mp3 version of the song is available on Amazon.com for 89 cents:

And it appears as though the entire soundtrack is available here:

FYI, you can get to the soundtrack page of any movie on imdb by going to the main movie page and checking the link list on the left.
The hymn is called "Oh Sing To God"...sheet music is available in England.
btw, Bob Mitchell (of the Boys Choir) is still alive (!) and playing live organ music at a silent movie revival theater in Hollywood, Ca...
