It came upon the midnight clear | Christmas Carol

It came upon the midnight clear | Christmas Carol Performed by the International Christian Choir of Belgrade "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" is a 1849 poem and Christmas carol written by Edmund Sears. In 1850, Sears' lyrics were set to "Carol", a tune written for the poem the same year at his request, by Richard Storrs Willis. 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, good will to men, From Heav’n’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 unfurled, And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains, They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. And ye, 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 hast’ning on, By prophet seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold 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. #christmassongs #christianmusic #christmascarol #itcomeuponthemidnightclear #songsforgod
