It Came Upon A 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 Heav'n'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 heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing
And ever o'er the Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing

For lo! the days are hast'ning on
By prophet seen of old
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When Christ shall come and all shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King
And saints shall meet Him in the air
And with the angels sing

"Peace on the earth, good will to men
From Heav'n's all-gracious King"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Oh He's coming
Oh He's here
Oh He's coming on a midnight clear
Oh He's coming
Oh He's here
Oh He's coming on a midnight clear
