It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Songtext
von Holley Maher

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 heavens most 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 wings
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
