It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Lyrics - Christmas Carols

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 Heaven's all-gracious King." 

The world in solemn stillness lay 

to hear the angels sing. 

Still through the cloven skies they come, 

their peaceful wings unfurled, 

and still their heavenly music floats 

o'er all the weary world. 

Above the noise and sound of strife, 

they bend on hov'ring wing; 

and ever over its babel sounds, 

the blessed angels sing.
