Lyrics

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, goodwill to men

From heaven's gracious king

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies

They come

With peaceful wings unfurl

And still

Their heavenly music floats

Over all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing

And oh its Babel ancient sounds

The blessed angels sing

Oh you

Beneath life's crushing load

Whose forms are bending low

Who toil among 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

To hear the angels sing
