The beloved and beautiful message for any day of the year, written in 1850. It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old From Angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold. Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men From Heaven's all gracious King. The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the Angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they came, with peace-filled wings unfurled. And still their heavenly music flows, o'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains That bend on hovering wing And ever o'er its babble sound The blessed Angels sing. Oh ye beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, with painful steps and slow: Look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing! Oh rest beside the weary road and hear the Angels sing! For lo, the days do hasten 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, the King! And the world shall send back the song which now the Angels sing.... + Informações

Christmas wishes to my friends and family. I'm singing the poem by Edmund Sears, 1849, of Massachusetts, which became a Christmas carol. I started to think about the time and the style in which it was written, perhaps to give a different interpretation than one typically finds nowadays. ...Also, I don't think that many people can get through all the words--my ballad memory to the rescue!. + Informações

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (C'est est arrivé à la Clarté de Minuit) Un cantique de Noël composé par Edmund Sears en 1849. Traduction en français C'est est arrivé à la clarté de minuit Cette ancienne chanson de gloire Venant des anges se courbant vers la terre Pour toucher leurs harpes d'or Paix sur la terre, que le bien soit fait parmi les hommes Grâce au gracieux roi des cieux Dans un calme solennel, le monde se couche Pour entendre les anges chanter Ils viennent à travers les cieux écartés Avec leurs ailes pleines de douceur Et leur divine musique continuant à jouer Au dessus de ce monde las Au dessus de ses plaines modestes et tristes Ils se penchent, planant avec leurs ailes Et toujours au dessus des bruits de Babel Les anges bénis chantent Vous tous, au dessous de cette vie anéantie Dont les formes se rétractent Vous qui travaillez dur chaque jour Avec des pas douloureux et lents Recherchez maintenant les heureuses et glorieuses heures Qui viennent vite sur des ailes O reposez vous près de cette route désanchantée Et écoutez les anges chanter Et écoutez les anges chanter. + Informações

God has the ability to take what we consider to be the ordinary and change it to the extraordinary. Played on my Martin D-28. Scriptural Basis: Luke 2:14 Isaiah 9:6-7 John 14:27. + Informações
