It Came Upon a Midnight Clear / Angels We Have Heard on High - Anthem Lights

It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold

Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled

And still their heavenly music floats

O’er all the weary world:

«Peace on the earth, goodwill to men

From heaven’s all-gracious King»

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains:

«Peace on the earth, goodwill to men

From heaven’s all-gracious King»

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Oh, hear the angels sing
