It Came Upon the Midnight Clear 歌詞

It came upon the midnight clear (descant Willcocks|1985 - Remaster) - Cambridge King's College Choir/Sir David Willcocks/John Wells

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 unfurled

 

And still the heavenly music floats

 

O'er all the weary world

 

Above it's sad and lowly plains

 

They bend on hovering wing

 

And ever over this babel sounds

 

The blessed angels sing

 

Yet with the woes of sin and strife

 

The world hath suffered long

 

Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled

 

Two thousand years of wrong

 

And man at war with man hears not

 

The loving which they bring

 

O hush the noise ye men of strife

 

And hear the angels sing

 

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
