Timeless Being

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
From heaven’s all-gracious King
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
Over all the weary world
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
From heaven’s all-gracious King

For lo! the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The prince of peace, their King
And the whole world’s sending back the song
Which now the angels sing
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
From heaven’s all-gracious King
From Heaven’s All From Heaven’s All- -Gracious King Gracious King
