It came upon the midnight clear

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 earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious king!'
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Glorious, my eyes have seen the glory of the lord
Glorious, he stands above the rulers of the earth
Glorious, glorious, lord, you are glorious

For lo! The days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old

When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old, glorious
