Andreas Vollenweider - Midnight Clear 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 Through the starless night they come With peaceful wings unfolded And still their heavenly music floats Over the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on lofting wings And over the aching hearts of men The blessed angels sing A great and mighty wonder A full and blessed cure A rose is come to blossom Which shall for us, endure The word is dwelled among us The true light from on high And cherubim sing anthems To shepards from the sky
