It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From Angels playing near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth could will two men
From heavens all-gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Oh, ye beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow

Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the Angels sing

For lo, the days are hasting on
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time for told

And the whole world sing back the song
Which now the angels sing

(It came upon a midnight clear)

And now the angels sing
