It Came Upon the Midnight Clear Songtext
von Sleeping At Last

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 earth, good will to all
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 wings
And ever o′er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
