christmas carols - it came upon a midnight clear lyrics

Loading...

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’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

yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long
beneath the heavenly strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong

and man at war with man hears not
the tidings which they bring
o hush the noise, ye men of strife
and hear the angels sing

o 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 hastening on
by prophets seen of old
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold

when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling
and the whole world give back the song
which now the angels sing
