Glad - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear 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 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 Over 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 The angels sing, blessed angels sing For lo! The days are hastening on By prophets once foretold When with the ever circling years Comes from the age of God When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling And the whole world sing back the song Which now the angels sing Hear the angels sing [Incomprehensible] angels sing It came upon the midnight clear It came upon the midnight clear Midnight clear
