Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the text of this classic hymn on Christmas Day 1863 following a tragic period of personal loss. Although commonly omitted in performance, many verses reference the perils of the Civil War. I’ve included one in this arrangement with an alternative minor-key melody. The final verse brings redemption to the forefront, with good triumphing over evil.
