It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Oh

Still through the cloven skies they come (Skies they come)
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world (World)
Peace on the Earth, good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King (Gracious King)
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
(Ah hear the angels sing)
(Ah hear the angels sing)
Hear the angels sing
(Ah hear the angels sing)
(Ah hear the angels sing)

Yet with the woes of sin and strife (Sin and strife)
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong, oh

When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole wide world gave back the song
Which now the angels sing
(Ah hear the angels sing)
(Ah hear the angels sing)
Hear the angels sing
(Ah hear the angels sing)
Hear the angels sing
Hear the angels sing
(Ah hear the angels sing)
Hear the angels, oh
In the world
(Ah hear the angels sing) (Sing)
(Ah hear the angels sing)
