For the fifth year in a row, The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square have released a video that combines a Christmas song with an inspiring video message. This year’s video features the German carol “Silent Night,” arranged by choir music director Mack Wilberg.
In the symbolic video, a police officer—subtly named Shepherd—and a group of strangers (some also with interesting names) come together on Christmas Eve to help a desperate young couple find shelter for the pending birth of their baby.
The police officer, played by actor Kevin Sorbo, helps deliver the child and is motivated by the experience to later reconcile with his daughter. Sorbo is best-known for playing the title role in the TV show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, as well as his roles in the movies Let There Be Light and God’s Not Dead.
“‘Silent Night’ is one of the most cherished Christmas carols of all time,“ Sorbo said in a press release. ”And this video’s story showing how people of diverse backgrounds can work together in unity is so needed in the world today. Putting all of that together with the heavenly music of The Tabernacle Choir was something I absolutely loved doing.”
