"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" is a Christmas carol that originated in the 19th century. It was written by Edmund Sears, a Unitarian pastor from Massachusetts, in 1849. The carol reflects on the angelic message of peace and goodwill as announced by angels to shepherds at the birth of Jesus Christ. The lyrics express a longing for peace on Earth amid the tumultuous times of the 19th century, particularly referencing war and social unrest.
The melody used for the carol was composed by Richard Storrs Willis in 1850. Over the years, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" has become a beloved and popular Christmas hymn, cherished for its message of hope and peace.
