Hark The Herald Angels Sing - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Songtext
von Bing Crosby

Gloria, gloria
In excelsis deo

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King
Peace on Earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"

(Joyful, all ye nations, rise)
Join the triumph of the skies
(With thy angelic host proclaim)
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"

(Hark! The herald angels sing)
Glory to the new-born King


Gloria, gloria
In excelsis deo

It came upon a 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 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
The blessed angels sing

Gloria, gloria
In excelsis deo
