[00:11.15]It came upon the midnight clear,
[00:16.42]That glorious song of old,
[00:21.65]From angels bending near the earth
[00:26.80]To touch their harps of gold.
[00:30.67]
[00:32.77]"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
[00:38.17]From heaven's all-gracious King."
[00:43.56]The world in solemn stillness lay
[00:48.80]To hear the angels sing.
[00:53.53]
[00:54.77]Still through the cloven skies they come
[00:59.56]With peaceful wings unfurled,
[01:05.49]And still their heavenly music floats
[01:10.25]O'er all the weary world.
[01:13.78]
[01:16.14]Above its sad and lowly plains
[01:21.34]They bend on hovering wing,
[01:27.29]And ever o'er its Babel-sounds
[01:32.08]The blessed angels sing.
[01:37.15]
[01:48.44]For lo! the days are hastening on,
[01:53.68]By prophets seen of old,
[01:59.04]When with the ever-circling years
[02:04.33]Shall come the time foretold.
[02:05.60]
[02:10.01]When the new heaven and earth shall own
[02:15.17]The Prince of Peace, their King,
[02:20.78]And the whole the world send back the song
[02:26.40]Which now the angels sing.
