)It Came Upon A Midnight ClearAuthor: Edmund H. Sears-In the Public DomainIt 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.Still through the cloven skies they comeWith peaceful wings unfurled,And still their heavenly music floatsO’er all the weary world;Above its sad and lowly plains,They bend on hovering wing,And ever over its Babel soundsThe blessèd angels sing.Yet with the woes of sin and strifeThe world has suffered long;Beneath the angel strain have rolledTwo thousand years of wrong;And man, at war with man, hears notThe love-song which they bring;O hush the noise, ye men of strifeAnd hear the angels sing.For lo! the days are hastening on,By prophet-bards foretold,When with the ever circling yearsComes round the age of gold;When peace shall over all the earthIts ancient splendors fling,And the whole world send back the songWhich now the angels sing.And hear the angels sing.© 2014 Shiloh Worship Music COPY FREELY;This Music is copyrighted to prevent misuse, however,permission is granted for non-commercial copying-Radio play permitted- www.shilohworshipmusic.com)
