The Huron Carol (or Twas in the Moon of Wintertime) is a Canadian Christmas hymn (Canadas oldest Christmas song), written probably in 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada. Brébeuf wrote the lyrics in the native language of the Huron/Wendat people; the songs original Huron title is Jesous Ahatonhia (Jesus, he is born). The songs melody is based on a traditional French folk song, Une Jeune Pucelle (A Young Maid). The well-known English lyrics were written in 1926 by Jesse Edgar Middleton, and the copyright to these lyrics was held by The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited, but entered the public domain in 2011. https://youtube/watch?v=D6IG6F6E5Ac
