Dean Martin - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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, good will 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 hush the noise, ye men of strife,
  • And hear the angels sing!
  • Still thro' the cloven skies they come,
  • With peaceful wings unfurl'd;
  • And still their heav'nly music floats
  • O'er all the weary world:
  • Above its sad and lowly plains
  • They bend on hov'ring wing,
  • And ever o'er its Babel sounds
  • The blessed angels sing.
  • All ye, beneath life's crushing load,
  • Whose forms are bending low,
  • Who toil along the climbing way
  • With painful steps and slow,
  • Look, now! for glad and golden hours
  • Come swiftly on the wing:
  • O rest beside the weary road,
  • And hear the angels sing!
  • For lo! the days are hast'ning on,
  • By prophet bards foretold,
  • When with the ever-circling years
  • Comes round 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!
