It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Lyrics
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)
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 unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats
Over all the weary world
Above it's sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever over it's babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
And man at war with man hears not
The tidings which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing
