It came upon the midnight clear
It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #200 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the 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 heav'n's all-gracious King";
the world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heav'nly music floats
o'er all the weary world:
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hov'ring wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 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:
O rest beside the weary road
and hear the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days are hast'ning 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 give back the song
which now the angels sing.

The tidings which they bring;
O hush the noise and cease your strife
And hear the angels sing.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #215 (1899) Lyrics: 1 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 earth in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.

With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still celestial music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessèd angels sing.
3 O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow;
Look up! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
4 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 final splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing!

Prepare the Way! the Prophet Called
Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: Voices Together #220 (2020) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: “Prepare the way!” the prophet called Lyrics: 1 “Prepare the way!” the prophet called;
a messenger will come
to reaffirm God’s covenant,
and lead the people home.
The truth will shine like purest fire
in that awaited hour.
Come, Jesus Christ! You are the way;
renew us with your pow’r.
2 “Prepare the way!” cried John to all
beside the Jordan stream.
All flesh will see God’s saving work,
the prophets’ ancient dream.
The valleys and the mountaintops
will make a level place.
Come, Jesus Christ! You are the way;
restore us with your grace.
3 Prepare the way in us, O God,
to greet that glorious day
when righteousness and peace will reign,
and death will pass away.
The risen one will come again,
descending from above.
Come, Jesus Christ! You are the way;
redeem us with your love. Topics: Covenant; John the Baptist; New Creation; Peace; Prophets; Reign of Christ Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-5 Tune Title: CAROL
