It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
Midnight's Melody: Embracing Peace and Hope in Angelic Harmony
Lyrics
It came upon the midnight clear,
Reference to a peaceful event occurring during the midnight hour.
That glorious song of old,
Describes the beautiful and renowned song from the past.
From angels bending near the earth,
Angels descending close to the earth.
To touch their harps of gold,
Angels playing golden harps, symbolizing celestial music.
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
Angelic proclamation of peace and goodwill to humanity.
From heavens all gracious King!"
Attributing the message to a benevolent heavenly ruler.
The world in solemn stillness lay
A serene world, hushed in quiet anticipation.
To hear the angels sing.
The world eagerly listening to the angelic song.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
Continuation of the angels' celestial journey.
With peaceful wings unfurled,
Angels with wings of peace spreading heavenly music.
And still their heavenly music floats
Angelic melody encompassing the weary world.
O'er all the weary world,
Throughout the troubled world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
Angels hovering over the humble and sorrowful landscapes.
They bend on hovering wing,
Angels observing human discord and chaos.
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
Amidst human clamor, angels continue to sing.
The blessed angels sing.
Blessed angels persist in their song above earthly noise.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Addressing those burdened by life's challenges.
Whose forms are bending low,
People struggling, bowed down by life's difficulties.
Who toil along the climbing way
Those persevering through life's arduous journey.
With painful steps and slow,
Progressing with difficulty and slow pace.
Look now, for glad and golden hours
An optimistic call to witness approaching joyful moments.
Come swiftly on the wing,
Anticipation of happiness swiftly approaching.
Oh rest beside the weary road
Invitation to find solace and listen to the angels' song.
And hear the angels sing.
Encouragement to rest beside life's challenges and find peace.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
Highlighting the hastening of approaching days.
By prophets seen of old,
Reference to ancient prophecies foreseeing future events.
When with the ever-circling years
A time, as foretold through the ages, drawing near.
Shall come the time foretold,
Anticipation of the fulfillment of prophesied time.
When the new heaven and earth shall own
When a new era acknowledges the Prince of Peace.
The Prince of Peace, their King,
Recognition of the reign of the Prince of Peace over a new heaven and earth.
And the whole world send back the song
Envisioning the entire world echoing the angelic song.
Which now the angels sing
Current angelic song becoming a universal anthem.
