About The
Song
It Came Upon The Midnight Clear (Christ Is Born) was Sophia’s first official solo single. She really wanted to do something jazzy for Christmas, and specifically requested to have a saxophone playing in the background. With that simple request in mind we set about recreating this well known Christmas carol with a contemporary jazz feel, including adding some original lyrics to point the song more directly towards the birth of our Saviour, Jesus.
It Came Upon The Midnight Clear (Christ Is Born)
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 the earth good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Still thro' the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Peace on the earth good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Oh Oh Oh
The Babe is born, in a manger He lays
The Saviour, Christ the Lord
Hear the angels echoing through the plains
Glad tidings for all the world
Peace on earth and good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Oh to hear the angels sing
Whoa
Hey
Whoa
Yeah
Oh
Join in song with the heralding choirs
Bring glory, honour and praise
Make haste, come see now the Heav'nly Child
The wond’rous Lord Most High
Peace on the earth good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
To hear the angels sing
Oh to hear the angels sing
Hear them sing
