It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the Earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men from Heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats over all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing
And ever over its Babel sounds, the blessed angels sing
For lo the days are hastening on by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new Heaven and Earth shall own the prince of peace their King
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing
From angels bending near the Earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men from Heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats over all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing
And ever over its Babel sounds, the blessed angels sing
For lo the days are hastening on by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new Heaven and Earth shall own the prince of peace their King
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing
