It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

 






It Came Upon A Midnight Clear



sing by Leaf



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 all

From heavens all gracious King!"


The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.


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.


For lo! the days are hastening on,

By prophets bards fore told,


When with the ever-circling years

Comes round the age of gold

When peace shall over all the earth

Its ancient splendors fling

And all the world give back the song


Which now the angels sing.



Leaf Nov. 30 2011 In U.S.A.
