"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" was written by Edmund H. Sears in 1849. The opening stanza is memorable, but not necessarily Biblical. Which idea from that Christmas carol was actually in the Bible?

The angels said in Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” There's no indication as to the time of night Jesus was born, nor that the angels had harps, but the world definitely wasn't very still.
