It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (Ballad Arrangement (Key of C, Bb, A, G)) - (UMH) 218

"It Came Upon the Midnight Clear," written by Edmund Sears in 1849 and set to music by Richard Willis, is a Christmas classic that speaks deeply to the weariness of the world. It carries the angelic message of "peace on earth" to a world filled with strife and anxiety. Even in 2026, as we navigate our daily burdens, this hymn reminds us that God's light still shines in our darkest nights. The first verse focuses on the lyrical melody, while the second verse builds to a rich, climactic arrangement. This piece is designed for congregational worship, prioritizing the melody. Please follow the written score closely, as the simplified chords may not fully capture the melodic flow if played alone.
