1
It came upon the midnight clear
2
That glorious song of old
3
From angels bending near the earth
4
To touch their harps of gold:
5
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
6
From heaven's all-gracious King."
7
The world in solemn stillness lay
8
To hear the angels sing!
9
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
10
The world has suffered long
11
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
12
Two thousand years of wrong
13
And man, at war with man, hears not
14
The love song which they bring:
15
"O hush the noise, ye men of strife
16
And hear the angels sing!"
17
Still through the cloven skies they come
18
With peaceful wings unfurled
19
And still their heavenly music floats
20
Over all the weary world
21
Above its sad and lowly plains
22
They bend on hovering wing
23
And ever over its Babel sounds
24
The blessed angels sing
25
All ye, beneath life's crushing load
26
Whose forms are bending low
27
Who toil along the climbing way
28
With painful steps and slow
29
Look, now, for glad and golden hours
30
Come swiftly on the wing
31
O rest beside the weary road
32
And hear the angels sing!
33
For lo! the days are hastening on
34
By prophet bards foretold
35
When with the ever-circling years
36
Comes 'round the age of gold
37
When peace shall over all the earth
38
Its ancient splendors fling
39
And the whole world give back the song
40
Which now the angels sing!
