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 the Earth
Good will to all
From heaven's all precious things
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

O ye beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are heavy and low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow

Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O' rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
