Lyrics

[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
