The story behind the song

This song is a beautiful rendition by Sixpence None the Richer, an American alternative rock band known for their melodic sound. The band's name itself comes from a passage in C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, which speaks to the idea that true value isn't always monetary. Appearing on a Christmas compilation, this carol invites a feeling of quiet contemplation and peace, reflecting on the profound message of its lyrics. It plays like a gentle, reflective moment in the midst of the holiday season.

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

Dm F G

From heaven's all gracious King

Am F

The world in solemn stillness lay

Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled,

Am F

And still their heavenly music floats

O'er all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing;

And ever o'er its Babel sounds

The blessed angels sing.

O ye, beneath life's crushing load

Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow
