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 men,

From heaven's all-gracious King.

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

--- Instrumental ---

Look now! for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;

O rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing!

Hear the angels sing!..
