《It Came Upon The Midnight Clear》歌词

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

[00:00:05] That glorious song of old,

[00:00:10] From angels bending near the earth,

[00:00:15] To touch their harps of gold:

[00:00:20] "Peace on the earth, goodwill to men

[00:00:25] From heavens all gracious King!"

[00:00:30] The world in solemn stillness lay

[00:00:35] To hear the angels sing.

[00:00:41] Still through the cloven skies they come,

[00:00:46] With peaceful wings unfurled;

[00:00:51] And still their heavenly music floats

[00:00:57] O'er all the weary world:

[00:01:03] Above its sad and lowly plains

[00:01:08] They bend on hovering wing,

[00:01:12] And ever o'er its Babel sounds

[00:01:18] The blessed angels sing.

[00:01:25] Yet with the woes of sin and strife

[00:01:30] The world has suffered long;

[00:01:35] Beneath the angel-strain have rolled

[00:01:40] Two thousand years of wrong;

[00:01:46] And man, at war with man, hears not

[00:01:51] The love-song which they bring;

[00:01:56] O hush the noise, ye men of strife,

[00:02:02] And hear the angels sing.

[00:02:09] For lo!, the days are hastening on,

[00:02:14] By prophet bards foretold,

[00:02:20] When with the ever-circling years

[00:02:26] Comes round the age of gold

[00:02:31] When peace shall over all the earth

[00:02:37] Its ancient splendors fling,

[00:02:42] And the whole world give back the song

[00:02:48] Which now the angels sing.
