Huron Carol

The Huron Carol (or "Twas in the Moon of Wintertime") is a Canadian Christmas hymn written probably in 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada.

Verse 1

• 'Twas in the moon of winter-time
  When all the birds had fled,
  That mighty Gitchi Manitou
  Sent angel choirs instead
  • 1926 English version by Jesse Edgar Middleton
