It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 870 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:7 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 angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and warring humankind hears not the love-song which they bring; O just the noise of mortal strife, and hear the angels sing! 4 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. 5 For lo! the days are hast'ning on, by prophets seen of old, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold; when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendours fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

God helps the stranger in distress, the widowed and the parentless, and grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures.
