[00:00.00]It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (arr. David Willcocks) (1985 Digital Remaster) - King's College Choir Cambridge/David Willcocks/John Wells
[00:01.77]It came upon the midnight clear
[00:07.85]That glorious song of old
[00:13.62]From angels bending near the earth
[00:19.40]To touch their harps of gold
[00:25.88]Peace on the earth goodwill to men
[00:31.41]From heavens all gracious king
[00:37.55]The world in solemn stillness lay
[00:43.44]To hear the angels sing
[00:51.70]Still through the cloven skies they come
[00:57.96]With peaceful wings unfurled
[01:03.86]And still their heavenly music floats
[01:09.80]Over all the weary world
[01:15.78]Above its sad and lowly plains
[01:21.98]They bend on hovering wing
[01:27.67]And ever over its babel sounds
[01:33.89]The blessed angels sing
[01:41.88]Yet with the woes of sin and strife
[01:48.21]The world has suffered long
[01:54.24]Beneath the blessed angel strain have rolled
[02:00.00]Two thousand years of wrong
[02:06.34]And man at war with man hears not
[02:12.16]The love-song which they bring
[02:18.63]O hush the noise ye men of strife
[02:24.84]And hear the angels sing
[02:32.45]For lo the days are hastening on
[02:38.88]By prophets seen of old
[02:45.03]When with the ever-circling years
[02:51.14]Shall come the time foretold
[02:57.38]When the new heaven and earth shall own
[03:03.35]The prince of peace their king
[03:09.57]And the whole world send back the song
[03:15.81]Which now the angels sing
