Christmas song or activity
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
From the United States
(Edmund Sears, an American minister, wrote this carol as a poem in 1850. The poem was so lovely that a friend suggested the words be set to music. Dr. Sears sent his poem to Richard Willis in Boston who composed the beautiful melody.)
It came upon a midnight clear,
That glorius song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heav'ns all gracious King";
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
