Lyrics It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Remastered) - Ella Fitzgerald

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 men
From heaven's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurl
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 prophet bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Comes 'round the age of gold

When peace shall over all the earth
It's ancient splendors fling
And our whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
