Richard Storrs Willis (10 February 1819 –10 May 1900) was an American composer, mainly of hymns, remembered for the Christmas hymn "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear." He was also a music critic and journal editor.
That Glorious Song of Old
"It came upon a midnight clear"
Is rarely heard this time of year,
But even though it's not December,
Take a moment to remember,
And join together, you and yours,
And sing for Willis, (Richard Storrs).
