It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears (1810-1876) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #130 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Lyrics: 1 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, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King;"
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing. Topics: Jesus Christ Birth Tune Title: CAROL

the blessed angels sing.

which now the angels sing. Topics: Christmas; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Peace World; Rest Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
