Lyrics
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 the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong
And man, at war with man, hears not the love-song which they bring
O how shall noisy men of spite attend hear the angels sing?
For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years shall come the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing
