"lyrics": "It came upon the midnight clear,\nThat glorious song of old,\nFrom angels bending near the earth\nTo touch their harps of gold;\n\"Peace on the earth, good will to men,\nFrom heaven's all-gracious King:\"\nThe world in solemn stillness lay,\nTo hear the angels sing.\n\nStill through the cloven skies they come,\nWith peaceful wings unfurled,\nAnd still their heav'nly music floats\nO'er all the weary world:\nAbove its sad and lowly plains\nThey bend on hov'ring wing,\nAnd ever o'er its Babel sounds\nThe blessed angels sing.\n\nAnd ye, beneath life's crushing load,\nWhose forms are bending low,\nWho toil along the climbing way\nWith painful steps and slow,\nLook now! for glad and golden hours\nCome swiftly on the wing:\nO rest beside the weary road,\nAnd hear the angels sing.\n\nFor lo, the days are hastening on,\nBy prophet bards foretold,\nWhen with the ever-circling years\nComes round the age of gold;\nWhen peace shall over all the earth\nIts ancient splendors fling,\nAnd the whole world give back the song\nWhich now the angels sing.",
