It ciime upon the midnight clear,
That glorioiiM itong of old,
From uugels bending near the earth
To totirh their harps of gold :
"l'euoe on the earth, good -will to
men,
From lleaven'H iill-gracioiiM King :"
The world in soU'iiui nilunce luy
To hear the unguis Ming,
(Still through tho cloven sklun tU?y
eonie
With peaceful wlugn unfurled :
And Mill their heavenly muslo limits
O'er all the weary world :
Above it siul and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er iU liubel sounds
The blpMaed angela ulng.
Hut with the woes of fin and btrlfe.
