《It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (arr. David Willcocks)》歌词

[00:00:00] It came upon the midnight clear

[00:00:06] That glorious song of old

[00:00:12] From angels bending near the earth

[00:00:18] To touch their harps of gold

[00:00:24] Peace on the earth good will to men

[00:00:30] From heaven's all gracious King

[00:00:36] The world in solemn stillness lay

[00:00:42] To hear the angels sing

[00:00:50] Still through the cloven skies they come

[00:00:56] With peaceful wings unfurl

[00:01:02] And still their heavenly music floats

[00:01:08] Over all the weary world

[00:01:14] Above it's sad and lowly plains

[00:01:20] They bend on hovering wing

[00:01:26] And ever over it's Babel sounds

[00:01:32] The blessed angels sing

[00:01:40] Yet with the woes of sin and strife

[00:01:46] The world has suffered long;

[00:01:52] Beneath the Angel-strain have rolled

[00:01:58] Two thousand years of wrong;

[00:02:04] And man at war with man hears not

[00:02:11] The love-song which they bring;

[00:02:17] O hush the noise ye men of strife

[00:02:23] And hear the Angels sing

[00:02:31] For lo the days are hastening on

[00:02:37] By prophets seen of old

[00:02:43] When with the ever-circling years

[00:02:49] Shall come the time foretold

[00:02:56] When the new heaven and earth shall own

[00:03:02] The Prince of Peace their King

[00:03:08] And the whole world send back the song

[00:03:14] Which now the angels sing

[00:03:24] It came upon the midnight clear (desc Willcocks) - Sir David Willcocks
