lyrics

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 heavens 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 their heavenly music floats 
O'er all the weary world: 
Above its sad and lowly plains 
They bend on hovering wing, 
And ever o'er its Babel sounds 
The blessed angels sing.  

Glory
Glory

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.

Glory
Glory
