From Susan Hill: Our choir sang this last year with the congregation singing It Came Upon the Midnight Clear. It was easy to prepare and a great intermediate hymn for December.
5.0 stars.





More about Donnalynn Grunewald:
Most of my music is original. Because I have lived in small branches for most of my life, I try to write songs that can be performed by a small group or a choir of inexperienced singers.

Lyrics: The midnight sky was clear and bright
In Bethlehem that holy night.
And angels sang their lullaby of “Glory, glory to God on high”.
“Peace, peace on the earth”, heavenly angels sing.
Sing alleluia, alleluia. Glory, glory to Christ the King!

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 heav’ns all gracious King.
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.

Sing ye all with one accord.
Raise your voices to the Lord.
Greet the dawn this welcome morn.
Jesus christ is born!

(Verses one and two combined)
