Song Lyrics

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From Angels playing near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth good will to men
From Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the Angels sing
The blessed Angels sing

Still through the heavenly skies
They come, with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their glorious music floats
O'er all the weary world

When peace is all over the earth
It's ancient splendors fling

And their whole world give back the song
But now the Angels sing
The blessed Angels sing

Edmund Hamilton Sears, Richard Storrs Willis
