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, goodwill 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 Babelsounds
The blessed angels sing
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angelstrain have rolled
Twothousand years of wrong
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring
Oh hush the noise, ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing
For lo! the days are hastening 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
Written by: Edmund Sears, Richard Storrs Willis
