It came upon the midnight clear,<br \/>\n\tthat glorious song of old,<br \/>\n\tFrom angels bending near the earth<br \/>\n\tTo touch their harps of gold:<br \/>\n\t&#8220;Peace on the carth, goodwill to men,<br \/>\n\tfrom heaven&#8217;s gracious King:<br \/>\n\tThe world in solemn stillness lay<br \/>\n\tTo hear the angels sing.<\/p>\n<p>\t2. Still thro&#8217; the cloven skies they come,<br \/>\n\tWith peaceful wings unfurled,<br \/>\n\tAnd still their heavenly music<br \/>\n\tfloats o&#8217;er all the weary world;<br \/>\n\tAbove its sad and lowly plains<br \/>\n\tthey bend on hovering wing.<br \/>\n\tAnd ever o&#8217;er its Babel sounds<br \/>\n\tthe blessed angels sing.<\/p>\n<p>\t3. And ye, beneath life&#8217;s crushing load,<br \/>\n\twhose forms are bending low,<br \/>\n\tWho toil along the climbing<br \/>\n\tway with painful steps and slow,<br \/>\n\tLook now! For glad and golden hours<br \/>\n\tcome swiftly on the wing:<br \/>\n\tO rest beside the wear road,<br \/>\n\tand hear the angels sing.<\/p>\n<p>\t4. For lo, the days are hastening on,<br \/>\n\tBy prophet bards foretold,<br \/>\n\tWhen with the ever circling years<br \/>\n\tcomes round the age of gold,<br \/>\n\tWhen peace shall over all<br \/>\n\tthe earth its ancient splendors fling.<br \/>\n\tAnd the whole world gives back the song<br \/>\n\twhich now the angels sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Believer Hymn Book Hymn 486 IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR Lyrics &nbsp; 1.
