It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Lyrics - The Christmas Sessions - Mercy Me

Words by Edmund H. Sears 

Music by Richard S. Willis 

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 their heavenly music floats 

O'er all the weary world

Yet with the woes of sin and strife 

The world has suffered long 

Beneath the blessed angel strain have rolled 

Two thousand years of wrong 

O hush the noise ye men of strife 

And hear the angels sing 

The world in solemn stillness lay
