It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Lyrics - The Ray Price Christmas Album - Ray Price

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old 

From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold 

Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven's all gracious king 

The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing 

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl 

And still their heavenly music floats, o'er all the weary world. 

Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing 

And ever o'er its babel sounds the blessed angels sing 

Oh yeah, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low 

Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow 

Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing 

Oh, rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing 

For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old 

When with the ever circling 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 angels sing
