It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Lyrics - Christmas 25th Anniversary Collection - Mannheim Steamroller

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 heav'n's all-gracious King. 

The world in solemn stillness lay, 

To hear the angels sing! 

Yet with the woes of sin and strife 

The world has suffered long, 

Beneath the angel strain have rolled 

Two thousand years of wrong; 

And man, at war with man, hears not 

The love song which they bring: 

O hush the noise, ye men of strife, 

And hear the angels sing!

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

Still thro' the cloven skies they come, 

With peaceful wings unfurl'd; 

And still their heav'nly music floats 

O'er all the weary world: 

Above its sad and lowly plains 

They bend on hov'ring wing, 

And ever o'er its Babel sounds 

The blessed angels sing. 

All 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: 

O rest beside the weary road, 

And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hast'ning on, 

By prophet bards foretold, 

When with the ever-circling years 

Comes round the age of gold; 

When peace shall over all the earth 

Its ancient splendors fling, 

And the whole world give back the song 

Which now the angels sing!
