It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

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
