It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Lyrics
It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their hearts 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
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lonely plains
they bend on hovering wings,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed 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;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
