It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Lyrics - What I Really Want For Christmas - Brian Wilson

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 heavens 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 Babel sounds 

The blessed angels sing. 

O ye beneath life's crushing load, 

Whose forms are bending low, 

Who toil along the climbing way 

With painful steps and slow, 

Look now, for glad and golden hours 

Come swiftly on the wing, 

Oh rest beside the weary road 

And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on, 

By prophets seen of old, 

When with the ever-circling years 

Shall come the time foretold, 

When the new heaven and earth shall own 

The Prince of Peace, their King, 

And the whole world send back the song 

Which now the angels sing
