THE ANGELS' SONG It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace to the earth, good-will to men From heaven's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.
* * * * * Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And men, at war with men, hear not The love-song which they bring: Oh! hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing! 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; Oh! rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When Peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.
