Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote this incredible song on Christmas morning in 1863. Hed had a rough couple of years leading up to it. The Civil War was in full swing, and hed just gotten word that his son was wounded in it. His wife had recently died in a fire. There wasnt any Christmas cheer for him that dayhed given up all hope. That is, until he heard church bells. What he wrote is not one of the more well-known Christmas songs. It wasnt even turned into a song until at least 10 years after it was written, by an English organist named John Baptiste Calker. But it may just be the best Christmas song ever written. This is Sarah McLachlan's version.

This melody was composed by Johnny Marks (composer of the "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" soundtrack) in the 50's or 60's. Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
