It came upon a midnight clear
It came upon a 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
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The bless-ed angels sing.
For lo, the days are hast'ning on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When, with the ever-circling years,
Comes round the age of gold.
When peace shall over all the earth,
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
