It Came Upon the Midnight Clear Edmund H. Sears Richard S. Willis It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing . | Gospel Piano with Denise

The song "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" was written by a pastor, Edmund Sears, in Wayland, MA in 1849. The lyrics were later published in Boston and put to the tune you may recognize in 1850. | Old Sturbridge Village
