It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

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, good will to men

From Heaven's all gracious king

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

For lo, the days are hastening on

By prophets seen of old

When with the ever-circling years

Comes round the age of gold

When peace shall over all the earth

Its ancient splendors fling

And the whole world give back the song

Which now the angels sing
