群星, John Wells, David Willcocks2003年11月3日It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (arr. David Willcocks) (1969 Digital Remaster) 歌詞
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 Earth good will to men
From Heaven's 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 heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above it's sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er it's Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
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
For lo the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing
It came upon the midnight clear (desc Willcocks) - Sir David Willcocks
