Young Oceans It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
[Verse 1]
Lo, the days are hastening on
By prophet bards foretold
When with the ever circling year
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
[Verse 2]
Yet with the woe of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing
[Verse 3]
It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
