A Canadian Christmas hymn based on a French folk song with original lyrics written by St John de Brebeuf, SJ, sung by the Canadian Tenors. Also called Twas in the Moon of Wintertime.
Thanks for this video. You have put together something really lovely. The hymn itself is beautiful & the pictures of a Canadian winter, especially the Northern Lights, are stunning. Well done & thanks! Happy Christmas.
Beautiful northern lights! I haven't seen colourful ones for several years. Like a dozen or more!

@01vald The English lyrics were written by J Edgar Middleton.

@01vald Pretty sure Jean de Brébeuf did not write the English lyrics. He wrote the Huron (Wendat) lyrics and the French lyrics.

Very interesting listen to it. I´ve never heard that St John de Brebeuf, SJ wrote such lyrics.
