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
Peace on earth
Good will to men
For hear the angels sing
And you, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now
For glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
Oh, rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
Over all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever over its many sounds
The blessed angels sing
Peace on earth
Good will to men
The blessed angels sing
Merry Christmas
