The Oak Ridge Boys - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear lyrics

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the Earth to
Touch their harps of gold peace on Earth
Good will to men from
Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Yet with the woes of sin and
Strife the world has suffered long
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
And man at war with man hears
Not the tidings which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of
Strife and hear the angels sing

For lo, the days are hastening on by
Prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years


Shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the
Earth it's ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the
Song which now the angles sing
O hear the angels sing
