It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
by The Worship Initiative

Album: The Worship Initiative Christmas, Vol. 2

Verse 1
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 Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the Angels sing

Interlude
Glory to God
Glory in the highest

Verse 2
Yet with the walls of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angels strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong

Interlude
Glory to God
Glory in the highest

Interlude
And man at war with man heals not
The love song which they bring
Oh hush the noise ye men of strife
Hear the angels sing

Chorus
Glory to God
Glory in the highest

Verse 3
O ye beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now form glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

Interlude
Glory to God
Glory in the highest

Verse 4
For lo the days are hastening on
By prophet bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing

Chorus
Glory to God
Glory in the highest
