Lyrics It Came upon the Midnight Clear - Geraldine Latty
That
glorious
song
of
old,
From
angels
bending
near
the
earth
To
touch
their
harps
of
gold:
'Through
all
the
earth,
goodwill
and
peace
From
heaven's
all-gracious
king!'
The
world
in
solemn
stillness
lay
To
hear
the
angels
sing.
2 With
sorrow
brought
by
sin
and
strife
The
world
has
suffered
long
And,
since
the
angels
sang,
have
passed
Two
thousand
years
of
wrong:
The
nations,
still
at
war,
hear
not
The
love-song
which
they
bring:
O
hush
the
noise
and
cease
the
strife,
To
hear
the
angels
sing!
3 And
those
whose
journey
now
is
hard,
Whose
hope
is
burning
low,
Who
tread
the
rocky
path
of
life
With
painful
steps
and
slow:
O
listen
to
the
news
of
love
Which
makes
the
heavens
ring!
O
rest
beside
the
weary
road
And
hear
the
angels
sing!
4 And
still
the
days
are
hastening
on
By
prophets
seen
of
old
Towards
the
fullness
of
the
time
When
comes
the
age
foretold:
Then
earth
and
heaven
renewed
shall
see
The
prince
of
peace,
their
king;
And
all
the
world
repeat
the
song
Which
now
the
angels
sing.
