“It Came Upon the Midnight Clear” shines with a fresh, serene arrangement. Gentle harmonies, soft instrumentation, and a new uplifting chorus bring timeless peace and hope to life. Perfect for quiet reflection and holiday listening. 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. Chorus Let the heavens ring, Let all creation sing— Peace has come, the Holy One Is born our saving King. Lift your eyes tonight, Hope is awakening; The world is filled with glory As the angels sing. Verse 2 Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. Chorus Let the heavens ring, Let all creation sing— Peace has come, the Holy One Is born our saving King. Lift your eyes tonight, Hope is awakening; The world is filled with glory As the angels sing. Verse 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing! Chorus Let the heavens ring, Let all creation sing— Peace has come, the Holy One Is born our saving King. Lift your eyes tonight, Hope is awakening; The world is filled with glory As the angels sing. Verse 4 For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing. Chorus Let the heavens ring, Let all creation sing— Peace has come, the Holy One Is born our saving King. Lift your eyes tonight, Hope is awakening; The world is filled with glory As the angels sing. Outro So may our hearts in quiet trust Receive His promised peace; Until the brightness of His love Makes every shadow cease. Then, face to face in endless joy, Our grateful voices ring— And join the everlasting song The angels still will sing. #ChristmasMusic #PeaceOnEarth #HolidayHymns
