Lyrics

[00:09.40] It came upon the midnight clear
[00:14.13] That glorious song of old
[00:18.41] From angels bending near the earth
[00:23.19] To touch their harps of gold
[00:27.72] Peace on the earth goodwill to men
[00:32.51] From heaven’s all gracious king
[00:37.13] The world in solemn stillness lay
[00:41.90] To hear the angels sing
[00:46.22]
[00:46.90] Still through the cloven skies they come
[00:51.81] With peaceful wings unfurled
[00:56.26] And still the heavenly music floats
[01:00.89] O’er all the weary world
[01:05.48] Above it’s sad and lowly plains
[01:10.16] They bend on hovering wing
[01:14.69] And ever over this babel sounds
[01:19.64] The blessed angels sing
[01:24.03]
[01:24.83] Yet with the woes of sin and strife
[01:29.65] The world hath suffered long
[01:33.74]
[01:34.33] Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled
[01:39.31] Two thousand years of wrong
[01:43.47]
[01:44.03] And man at war with man hears not
[01:48.72] The loving which they bring
[01:53.57] O hush the noise ye men of strife
[01:58.69] And hear the angels sing
