It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Lyrics - Ray Conniff

It came upon the midnight clear 

That glorious song of old 

From Angels playing near the earth 

To touch their harps of gold 

Peace on the earth could will two men 

From Heaven's all-gracious King 

The world in solemn stillness lay 

To hear the Angels sing 

And I hear them singing 

Sing, I do hear them singing 

The first Noel the Angel did say 

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay 

In fields where they lay, they keeping their sheep 

On a cold winter's night that was so deep
