[00:00.00]It Came Upon A Midnight - John St. John Tenors
[00:17.25]It came upon the midnight clear
[00:21.93]That glorious song of old
[00:26.71]From angels bending near the earth
[00:31.60]To touch their harps of gold
[00:36.28]Peace on the earth goodwill to men
[00:41.10]From heavens all gracious King
[00:45.88]The world in solemn stillness lay
[00:50.75]To hear the angels sing
[01:00.19]Still through the cloven skies they come
[01:05.16]With peaceful wings unfurled
[01:09.84]And still their heavenly music floats
[01:14.74]O'er all the weary world
[01:19.48]Above its sad and lowly plains
[01:24.23]They bend on hovering wing
[01:29.09]And ever o'er its Babel sounds
[01:33.99]The blessed angels sing
[01:48.30]Yet with the woes of sin and strife
[01:53.08]The world hath suffered long
[01:57.83]Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
[02:02.66]Two thousand years of wrong
[02:07.37]And man at war with man hears not
[02:12.17]The love song which they bring
[02:17.03]O hush the noise ye men of strife
[02:21.82]And hear the angels sing
[02:45.96]And ye beneath life's crushing load
[02:50.59]Whose forms are bending low
[02:55.31]Who toil along the climbing way
[03:00.15]With painful steps and slow
[03:05.07]Look now for glad and golden hours
[03:09.79]Come swiftly on the wing
[03:14.43]Oh rest beside the weary road
[03:19.46]And hear the angels sing
[03:24.12]And hear the angels sing
