  1. It Came uponthe Midnight Clear Words by Edmund H. Sears Music by Richard Storrs Willis Words and Music public domain 188

  2. It came upon the midnight clearThat glorious song of old

  3. From angels bending near the earthTo touch their harps of gold

  4. Peace on the earth, good will to menFrom heav’n’s all-gracious King

  5. The world in solemn stillness layTo hear the angels sing

  6. Yet with the woes of sin and strifeThe world has suffered long

  7. Beneath the angel strain have rolledTwo thousand years of wrong

  8. And man, at war with man, hears notThe love song which they bring

  9. O hush the noise, ye men of strifeAnd hear the angels sing

  10. All ye, beneath life’s crushing loadWhose forms are bending low

  11. Who toil along the climbing wayWith painful steps and slow

  12. Look now! for glad and golden hoursCome swiftly on the wing

  13. O rest beside the weary roadAnd hear the angels sing

  14. For lo! the days are hast’ning onBy prophet bards foretold

  15. When with the ever-circling yearsComes round the age of gold

  16. When peace shall over all the earthIts ancient splendors fling

  17. And the whole worldgive back the songWhich now the angels sing
