It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Lyrics - Norah Jones

1 It came upon the midnight clear

2 That glorious song of old

3 From angels playing near the earth

4 To touch their harps of gold

5 Peace on the earth, good will to men

6 From Heaven's all-gracious King

7 The world in solemn stillness lay

8 To hear the angels sing

9 Still through the cloven skies, they come

10 With peaceful wings unfurled

11 And still the heavenly music flows

12 Over all the weary world

13 Above its sad and lonely plains

14 They bend on hovering wing

15 And, o'er its Babel ancient sounds

16 The blessed angels sing

17 Oh, you beneath life's crushing load

18 Whose forms are bending low

19 Who tore among the climbing wind

20 With painful steps and slow

21 Look now for glad and golden hours

22 Come swiftly on the wind

23 Oh, rest beside the weary road

24 To hear the angels sing
