Couplet 1

It came upon
A midnight clear
That glorious
Song of oldFrom angels
Bending near the earthTo touch
Their harps of gold

Refrain 1

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

Couplet 2

Still through
The cloven skies they come
With peaceful
Wings unfurled
And still
Their heavenly music floats
Over all the weary world

Refrain 2

Above its sad
And lowly plains
They bend
On hovering wing
And ever o'er
The Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing

Couplet 3

For lo the days
Are hastening on
By prophets
Seen of old
When with
The ever-circling years
Shall come
The time foretold

Refrain 3

When Christ shall come
And all shall own
The Prince of Peace
Their King
And saints shall
Meet Him in the air
And with the angels sing

Refrain 4

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

Outro

Oh He’s coming
Oh He’s here
Oh He’s coming
On a midnight clear
Oh He’s coming
Oh He’s here
Oh He’s coming
On a midnight clear
