Chris Tomlin's 'Midnight Clear (Love Song)' is a Christmas song that retells the story of the angels announcing Jesus' birth to the shepherds. The lyrics draw from the classic hymn 'It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,' emphasizing peace on earth and goodwill. Tomlin adds a refrain declaring Jesus as the 'love song of God,' connecting the nativity to God's love for the world. The song calls listeners to set aside conflict and hear the message of the angels. It is a modern worship arrangement of a traditional Christmas carol, focusing on the joy and peace brought by the Savior's birth.

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, 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 come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
Through all the weary world
And man at war with man hears not
The love song which they bring
O hush the noise and cease the strife
And hear the angels sing
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God evermore
Good news, great joy for all
Melody breaks through the silence
Christ, the Savior is born!
Jesus, the love song of God!
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God evermore
Good news, great joy for all
Melody breaks through the silence
Christ, the Savior is born!
Jesus, the love song of God!
Jesus, the love song of God!
You're the love song
You're the love song
You so loved the world
You're the love song
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
