"It Came Upon The 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

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still the heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world

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

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing
Ah, ah, hear the angels (Can you hear them sing?)
Ah, ah, hear the angels sing
Ah, ah, hear the angels

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong

When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole wide world give back the song
Which now the angels sing

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing
Ah, ah, hear the angels (Hear the angels sing)
Ah, ah, hear the angels sing (Can you hear them sing?)
Ah, ah, hear the angels (Hear the angels sing)
(Can you hear the angels?)
Ah, ah, hear the angels sing
Ah, ah, hear the angels (Can you hear the angels sing?)
