It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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, good will 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 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

For lo, the days are hastening on
By prophets much foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Comes 'round the age of gold


When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And our whole world give back this song
Which now the Angels sing
