It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
4
It came upon the midnight clear,
5
That glorious song of old,
6
From angels bending near the earth
7
To touch their harps of gold:
8
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
9
From heaven's all-gracious King."
10
The world in solemn stillness lay
11
To hear the angels sing.
12
Still through the cloven skies they come
13
With peaceful wings unfurled,
14
And still their heavenly music floats
15
O'er all the weary world;
16
Above its sad and lowly plains
17
They bend on hovering wing,
18
And ever o'er its Babel-sounds
19
The blessed angels sing.
20
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
21
The world has suffered long;
22
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled
23
Two thousand years of wrong;
24
And man, at war with man, hears not
25
The tidings which they bring;
26
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
27
And hear the angels sing!
28
O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
29
Whose forms are bending low,
30
Who toil along the climbing way
31
With painful steps and slow,
32
Look now! for glad and golden hours
33
Come swiftly on the wing;
34
O rest beside the weary road
35
And hear the angels sing!
36
For lo! the days are hastening on,
37
By prophets seen of old,
38
When with the ever-circling years
39
Shall come the time foretold,
40
When peace shall over all the earth
41
Its ancient splendors fling,
42
And the whole world give back the song
43
Which now the angels sing.
