This truly might be the prettiest video we've ever produced. We woke up early so we could be filming before sunrise and it turned out to be a magical morning! We worked with a friend of ours, Anthony, on the video.

►LYRICS - It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven's all-gracious King"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
