it came upon a midnight clear
It came upon the midnight clearThat glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world
Peace on earth good will to men
From heaven’s gracious King
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the blessed angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
Chorus
O hush the noise ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing
Chorus
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels’ song
To hear the angels’ song
