It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 878 hymnals 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 all, From heav'n'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 heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long; Beneath the heav'nly hymn have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And warring humankind hears not The tidings which they bring; O hush the noise and cease your strife And hear the angels sing. 4 For, lo! The days are hast'ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And all the world give back the song Which now the angels sing.
