This might be one of the most beloved and classic Christmas songs that focuses on the angels and their encounter the night Christ was born. It gives us an idea of what a holy sight it was to God’s angels. 

The rendition of the ‘It Came Upon a Midnight Clear’ duet by The Hound & The Fox is one song you will treasure. It is peaceful and magical, with a Christmas folk sound. Their performance included a beautiful snowy landscape with this lovely husband and wife duo expecting another child. 

The couple, Reilly and McKenzie Zamber, hail from Oregon, and they are passionate about music. They write and create their own, plus cover their favorites.

On their YouTube page, they wrote, “We love to create our own versions of songs that inspire us, and we LOVE to write and share our own originals as well. We are passionate about the visuals and the stories that accompany our music, and we hope that you can see that in our videos.” 

The Fox and The Hound put their unique folk sound and creative instrumental abilities into the cover of ‘It Came Upon A Midnight Clear’, and the result is phenomenal. It will be your new favorite rendition of the song that was originally produced by Edmund H. Sears in 1849. Edmund based the hymn on the Bible verse Luke 2:14. 

“It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold:‘Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.’The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.”

It is by far one of my favorite songs that gets my heart and spirit into the Christmas mood by reminding me of what unfolded on that holy, precious night. I hope you enjoyed this beautiful performance as much as I did. 

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men,” Luke 2:14.
