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, good will to men
From heaven our gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
They slit the sky as they fly through
Their 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 o'er the traffic's roar
The blessed angels sing
And now the days are hastening on
That prophets have foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the age of gold
When peace shall override the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
Which now the angels sing
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven our gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
They slit the sky as they fly through
Their 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 o'er the traffic's roar
The blessed angels sing
And now the days are hastening on
That prophets have foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the age of gold
When peace shall override the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
Which now the angels sing
