[00:11.20]It came upon the midnight clear,
[00:16.670]That glorious song of old,
[00:20.170]
[00:22.120]From angels bending near the earth,
[00:26.800]
[00:27.540]To touch their harps of gold:
[00:31.780]
[00:32.659]"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
[00:37.960]
[00:38.580]From heavens all gracious King!"
[00:42.270]
[00:44.320]The world in solemn stillness lay
[00:49.130]
[00:49.880]To hear the angels sing.
[00:54.310]
[00:58.360]Still through the cloven skies they come,
[01:03.110]
[01:03.790]With peaceful wings unfurled;
[01:08.289]
[01:08.910]And still their heavenly music floats
[01:13.950]
[01:14.820]O'er all the weary world:
[01:18.750]
[01:20.60]Above its sad and lowly plains
[01:25.310]
[01:25.930]They bend on hovering wing,
[01:29.570]
[01:31.130]And ever o'er its Babel sounds
[01:36.460]
[01:37.200]The blessed angels sing.
[01:42.9]
[01:45.500]O ye beneath life's crushing load,
[01:51.180]Whose forms are bending low,
[01:55.180]
[01:56.420]Who toil along the climbing way
[02:01.730]
[02:02.410]With painful steps and slow;
[02:06.470]
[02:07.470]Look now, for glad and golden hours
[02:12.810]
[02:13.490]Come swiftly on the wing;
[02:17.420]
[02:18.920]Oh rest beside the weary road
[02:24.660]
[02:25.350]And hear the angels sing.
[02:29.480]
