| [00:09.74] |
It came upon the midnight clear, |
| [00:14.48] |
that glorious song of old |
| [00:19.09] |
From angels bending near the earth |
| [00:24.03] |
to touch their harps of gold |
| [00:28.45] |
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, |
| [00:33.06] |
from heaven's all gracious king |
| [00:38.14] |
The world in solemn stillness lay |
| [00:43.06] |
to hear the angels sing |
| [00:54.67] |
Still through the cloven skies they come |
| [00:59.43] |
with peaceful wings unfurl |
| [01:04.22] |
And still their heavenly music floats |
| [01:08.93] |
O'er all the weary world |
| [01:13.59] |
Above its sad and lowly plains |
| [01:18.06] |
they bend on hovering wing |
| [01:22.99] |
And ever o'er its Babel sounds |
| [01:27.89] |
the blessed angels sing |
| [02:24.97] |
O ye, beneath life's crushing load |
| [02:29.41] |
whose forms are bending low |
| [02:33.99] |
Who toil along the climbing way |
| [02:38.89] |
with painful steps and slow |
| [02:43.42] |
Look now for glad and golden hours |
| [02:48.26] |
come swiftly on the wing |
| [02:52.92] |
O rest beside the weary road |
| [02:57.86] |
and hear the angels sing |
| [03:02.80] |
and hear the angels sing |
