It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold.

Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled

And still the heavenly music floats

O'er all the weary world.

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.

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing

Ah, ah, hear the angels (can you hear them sing?)

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing

Ah, ah, hear the angels.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife

The world has suffered long

Beneath the angel-strain have rolled

Two thousand years of wrong.

When peace shall over all the earth

Its ancient splendors fling

And the whole wide world give back the song

Which now the angels sing.

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing

Ah, ah, hear the angels (hear the angels sing)

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing (can you hear them sing?)

Ah, ah, hear the angels (hear the angels sing)

(Can you hear the angels?)

Ah, ah, hear the angels sing

Ah, ah, hear the angels (can you hear the angels sing?)
