Lyrics
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 heaven's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above the sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious king
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
Written by: Edmund Sears, Richard Storrs Willis
