Lyrics of Qiyu's it cam up on the midnight clear(qi yu ge ci )

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth,

"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men

From heavens all gracious King!"

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

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.

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth,

"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men

From heavens all gracious King!"

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

To hear the angels sing.

The blessed angels sing.
