It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

Edmund Hamilton Sears

Ab

Intro

The world in sol - emn still - ness lay
To hear the an - gels sing  

Verse 1

It came up - on the mid - night clear
That glo - rious song of old
From an - gels bend - ing near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth good will to men
From heaven's all gra - cious King
The world in sol - emn still - ness lay
To hear the an - gels sing  

Verse 2

Still thro' the clo - ven skies they come
With peace - ful wings un - furled
And still their heaven - ly mu - sic floats
Over all the we - ary world
A - bove its sad and low - ly plains
They bend on hov - er - ing wing
And ev - er o'er its Ba - bel sounds
The bless - ed an - gels sing  

Verse 3

For lo the days are hasten - ing on
By pro - phets seen of old
When with the ev - er - cir - cling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the an - gels sing
Ending with retard
Which now the an - gels sing
Which now the an - gels sing
