[Intro]

[Verse 1]
It Ccame uFpon a Cmidnight clear
That Fglorious D7song of G7old
From Cangels Fbending Cnear the earth
To Ftouch their G7harps of Cgold
"Peace E7on the earth, good Amwill to men
From Gheaven's all D7gracious GKing;"
The Cworld in Fsolemn Cstillness lay,
To Fhear the G7angels Csing
[Verse 2]
Still Cthrough the Fcloven Cskies they come
With Fpeaceful D7wings unG7furled,
And Cstill their Fheavenly Cmusic floats
O'er Fall the G7weary Cworld
AE7bove its sad and Amlowly plains
They Gbend on D7hovering Gwing;
And Cever Fo'er its CBabel sounds
The Fblessed G7angels Csing.
[Verse 3]
O Cye, beFneath life's Ccrushing load
Whose Fforms are D7bending G7low,
Who Ctoil aFlong the Cclimbing way
With Fpainful G7steps and Cslow
Look E7now! for glad and Amgolden hours
Come Gswiftly D7on the Gwing;
O Crest beFside the Cweary road
And Fhear the G7angels Csing
[Verse 4]
For Clo!  The Fdays are Chastening on
by Fprophets D7seen of G7old
When Cwith the Fever-Ccircling years
shall Fcome the G7time foreCtold
When E7peace shall over Amall the earth
its Gancient D7splendors Gfling
And Cthe whole Fworld send Cback the song
which Fnow the G7angels Csing!

[Verse 1]

C F C

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, good will to men

G D7 G

From heaven's all gracious King;"

The world in solemn stillness lay,

To hear the angels sing

[Verse 2]

Still through the cloven skies they come

F D7 G7

With peaceful wings unfurled,

C F C

And still their heavenly music floats

F G7 C

O'er all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains

G D7 G

They bend on hovering wing;

And ever o'er its Babel sounds

The blessed angels sing.

[Verse 3]

O 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;

O rest beside the weary road

F G7 C

And hear the angels sing

[Verse 4]

For lo! The days are hastening on

by prophets seen of old

When with the ever-circling years

When peace shall over all the earth
