| [00:11.15] |
It came upon the midnight clear, |
| [00:16.42] |
That glorious song of old, |
| [00:21.65] |
From angels bending near the earth |
| [00:26.80] |
To touch their harps of gold. |
| [00:30.67] |
|
| [00:32.77] |
"Peace on the earth, good will to men, |
| [00:38.17] |
From heaven's all-gracious King." |
| [00:43.56] |
The world in solemn stillness lay |
| [00:48.80] |
To hear the angels sing. |
| [00:53.53] |
|
| [00:54.77] |
Still through the cloven skies they come |
| [00:59.56] |
With peaceful wings unfurled, |
| [01:05.49] |
And still their heavenly music floats |
| [01:10.25] |
O'er all the weary world. |
| [01:13.78] |
|
| [01:16.14] |
Above its sad and lowly plains |
| [01:21.34] |
They bend on hovering wing, |
| [01:27.29] |
And ever o'er its Babel-sounds |
| [01:32.08] |
The blessed angels sing. |
| [01:37.15] |
|
| [01:48.44] |
For lo! the days are hastening on, |
| [01:53.68] |
By prophets seen of old, |
| [01:59.04] |
When with the ever-circling years |
| [02:04.33] |
Shall come the time foretold. |
| [02:05.60] |
|
| [02:10.01] |
When the new heaven and earth shall own |
| [02:15.17] |
The Prince of Peace, their King, |
| [02:20.78] |
And the whole the world send back the song |
| [02:26.40] |
Which now the angels sing. |
