It came upon the midnight clear

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

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world

Peace on earth goodwill to men
From heaven's gracious King
And with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the blessed angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong

Peace on earth goodwill to men
From heaven's gracious King
O hush the noise you men of strife
And hear the angels sing

Peace on earth goodwill to men
From heaven's gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels' song
