It Came Upon A Midnight Clear / Christmas Carol / Guitar and Vocal

It came upon a midnight clear lyrics
performed by Dan D. Dirges

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.

O ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
and rest beside the weary road
to hear the angels sing.

For lo the hour is hastening on, by
prophets seen of old. When with the
every circling years, shall come a
time for-told. When the new Heaven and
earth shall own, the prince of peace
their king. And the whole world send
back the song which now the angels
sing. 2x.
