时长: 03:02
It came upon the midnight clear,[00:00:00]
That glorious song of old,[00:00:05]
From angels bending near the earth,[00:00:10]
To touch their harps of gold:[00:00:15]
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men[00:00:20]
From heavens all gracious King!"[00:00:25]
The world in solemn stillness lay[00:00:30]
To hear the angels sing.[00:00:35]
Still through the cloven skies they come,[00:00:41]
With peaceful wings unfurled;[00:00:46]
And still their heavenly music floats[00:00:51]
O'er all the weary world:[00:00:57]
Above its sad and lowly plains[00:01:03]
They bend on hovering wing,[00:01:08]
And ever o'er its Babel sounds[00:01:12]
The blessed angels sing.[00:01:18]
Yet with the woes of sin and strife[00:01:25]
The world has suffered long;[00:01:30]
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled[00:01:35]
Two thousand years of wrong;[00:01:40]
And man, at war with man, hears not[00:01:46]
The love-song which they bring;[00:01:51]
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,[00:01:56]
And hear the angels sing.[00:02:02]
For lo!, the days are hastening on,[00:02:09]
By prophet bards foretold,[00:02:14]
When with the ever-circling years[00:02:20]
Comes round the age of gold[00:02:26]
When peace shall over all the earth[00:02:31]
Its ancient splendors fling,[00:02:37]
And the whole world give back the song[00:02:42]
Which now the angels sing.[00:02:48]
