Sara Groves - It Came Upon a Midnight Clear lyrics

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, to hear them sing O ye beneath life's crushing load Whose forms are bending low Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps so slow Look now for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing Oh, rest beside the weary road And hear the angels, and hear them sing Singin' peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heaven's all gracious King The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels, to hear them sing, sing, sing, sing Still through the broken skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled And still their heavenly music floats Over all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing And ever over Babel sounds The blessed angels, the angels sing, sing, sing And I can hear the angels sing And I can hear the angels And I still hear the angels sing And I still hear the angels (Glory, Alleluia) And I can hear the angels And I still hear the angels sing (Glory, Alleluia) And I still hear the angels (Glory, Alleluia) Oh, I can hear, oh, I can hear (Glory, Alleluia) That glorious song of old (Glory, Alleluia) It came upon the midnight clear (Peace on earth, Glory, Alleluia) Peace on earth
