It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Lyrics

Ray Price It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

(E. H. Sears - Richard S. Willis)

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold.

To hear the angels sing.

Still their heavenly music floats
O'er the weary world.

(They bend on hovering wing)
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.

(The blessed angels sing...)
