O hear the angels sing O hear the angels sing Our King has come It came upon a 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 O hear the angels sing O hear the angels sing Our King has come 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 man, at war with man, hears not The love song which they bring O hush the noise, ye men of strife And hear the angels sing O hear the angels sing O hear the angels sing Our King has come 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 O hear the angels sing O hear the angels sing Our King has come O hear the angels sing O hear the angels sing Our King has come
