Lyrics[]
- 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 heavens all gracious King
- The world in solemn stillness lay
- To hear the angels sing
- Still through the cloven skies they came
- With peaceful wings of furled
- And still their heavenly music floats
- O'er 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 of world send back the song
- Which now the angels sing
