FRANK SINATRA - It Came Upon The Midnight Clear lyrics

rate me

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old<br>From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold<br>Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious king<br>The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.<br><br>Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl<br>And still their heavenly music floats, o'er all the weary world.<br>Above it's sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing<br>And ever o'er it's babel sounds the blessed angels sing.<br><br>O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low<br>Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow<br>Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing<br>O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.<br><br>For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old<br>When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold<br>When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their king<br>And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
