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 came
With peaceful wings
Unfurled
And still their
Heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad
And lowly plains
They bend
On hovering wing
And ever o'er
lts babel sounds
The blessed angels
Sing
For lo the days
Are hastening on
By prophets
Seen of old
When with the ever
Circling years
Comes round the
Age of gold
When peace shall
Over all the earth
lts ancient splendor
Fling
And the whole world
Give back the song
Which now
The angels sing
