I had a hard time deciding which rendition of this hymn to post. Let’s try this one: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, sung by Josh Groban.
I love this hymn. One of my earliest memories is of sitting on my Uncle Bernie’s lap while he read these words to me out of a book of Christmas carols. I do miss him. But our God is an awesome God, who has promised the restoration of all things. That process began with the birth of Jesus Christ… upon a midnight clear.
P.S.–If there’s a version of this or any other hymn that you’d like posted here, well, shout it out. Don’t be bashful!
It is hard to go wrong when choosing a Josh Groban version of anything. Groban is another discovery of David Foster. He started out to be an actor until his voice continued to change. Maybe it was the answer to the prayers of his Episcopalian mother.
