《It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (arr. David Willcocks)》歌词

[00:00:00] It came upon the midnight clear (descant Willcocks|1985 - Remaster) - Cambridge King's College Choir (剑桥国王学院合唱团)/Sir David Willcocks (戴维·威科克斯)/John Wells

[00:00:01] It came upon the midnight clear

[00:00:07] That glorious song of old

[00:00:13] From angels bending near the earth

[00:00:19] To touch their harps of gold

[00:00:25] Peace on the earth goodwill to men

[00:00:31] From heaven's all gracious king

[00:00:37] The world in solemn stillness lay

[00:00:43] To hear the angels sing

[00:00:51] Still through the cloven skies they come

[00:00:57] With peaceful wings unfurled

[00:01:03] And still the heavenly music floats

[00:01:09] O'er all the weary world

[00:01:15] Above it's sad and lowly plains

[00:01:21] They bend on hovering wing

[00:01:27] And ever over this babel sounds

[00:01:33] The blessed angels sing

[00:01:42] Yet with the woes of sin and strife

[00:01:48] The world hath suffered long

[00:01:54] Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled

[00:02:00] Two thousand years of wrong

[00:02:06] And man at war with man hears not

[00:02:12] The loving which they bring

[00:02:18] O hush the noise ye men of strife

[00:02:24] And hear the angels sing

[00:02:32] For lo the days are hastening on

[00:02:38] By prophets seen of old

[00:02:44] When with the ever-circling years

[00:02:51] Shall come the time foretold

[00:02:57] When the new heaven and earth shall own

[00:03:03] The prince of peace their king

[00:03:09] And the whole world send back the song

[00:03:15] Which now the angels sing
