It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Lyrics - The Roches

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 

Oh, 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
