Johnny Mathis - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear lyrics

rate me

It came upon the midnight clear<br />

That glorious song of old<br />

From angels bending near the Earth<br />

To touch their harps of gold<br />

Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men<br />

From heaven's all gracious king<br />

The world in solemn stillness lay<br />

To hear the angels sing<br />

<br />

Still through the cloven skies<br />

They come<br />

With peaceful wings unfurl<br />

And still<br />

Their heavenly music floats<br />

O'er all the weary world<br />

Above its sad and lowly plains<br />

They bend on hovering wing<br />

And ever o'er its Babel sounds<br />

The blessed angels sing<br />

<br />

O ye<br />

Beneath life's crushing load<br />

Whose forms are bending low<br />

Who toil along the climbing way<br />

With painful steps and slow<br />

Look now<br />

For glad and golden hours<br />

Come swiftly on the wing<br />

O rest beside the weary road<br />

And hear the angels sing<br />

<br />

For lo the days are hastening on<br />

By prophets seen of old<br />

When with the ever circling years<br />

Shall come the time foretold<br />

When the new heaven and earth<br />

Shall own the prince of peace<br />

Their King<br />

And the whole world<br />

Send back the song<br />

Which now the angels sing
