It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Heavenly Harmony: Unveiling Peaceful Prophecies in Midnight's Song
Lyrics
It came upon the midnight clear,
Introduction of a significant event happening during midnight.
That glorious song of old,
Referring to a beautiful and famous song from the past.
From angels bending near the earth,
Angels coming close to the earth.
To touch their harps of gold:
Angels playing golden harps, symbolizing divine 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 gracious King from the heavens.
The world in solemn stillness lay
Describing a world in solemn quietness, attentive to the angelic message.
To hear the angels sing.
The anticipation of hearing the angels' song in this stillness.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
Continuation of the angels' celestial journey through the skies.
With peaceful wings unfurled;
Depicting angels with peaceful wings outstretched.
And still their heavenly music floats
Emphasizing the ethereal quality of their music encompassing the weary world.
O'er all the weary world:
Angelic music resonating across the entire world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
Angels observing the world's sad and humble regions.
They bend on hovering wing,
Angels descending with care and attention.
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
Continuous singing amid the chaotic noise of the world.
The blessed angels sing.
Highlighting the blessed nature of the angels' song.
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Addressing those burdened by life's difficulties.
Whose forms are bending low,
People experiencing hardship and bending low under life's challenges.
Who toil along the climbing way
Individuals laboring through life's struggles with slow and painful steps.
With painful steps and slow;
Encouraging those facing difficulties to look for a positive change.
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Anticipating joyful and golden moments approaching swiftly.
Come swiftly on the wing;
Invitation to rest and witness the angels' song beside life's weary road.
Oh rest beside the weary road
Encouragement to listen to the celestial melody.
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
Prophetic reference to future events seen by ancient seers.
By prophets seen of old,
Anticipation of a time foretold to come with the passing years.
When with the ever-circling years
Describing a future when a prophesied time will arrive.
Shall come the time foretold,
The awaited era when a new heaven and earth will acknowledge the Prince of Peace.
When the new heaven and earth shall own
Recognition of a future where peace will reign under a divine King.
The Prince of Peace, their King,
The entire world acknowledging and echoing the song of the angels.
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Expectation of the world resonating with the current song of the angels.
