[Verse 1]
C F C
It came upon a midnight clear
F D7 G7
That glorious song of old
C F C
From angels bending near the earth
F G7 C
To touch their harps of gold
E7 Am
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
G D7 G
From heaven's all gracious King;"
C F C
The world in solemn stillness lay,
F G7 C
To hear the angels sing
[Verse 2]
C F C
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
E7 Am
Above its sad and lowly plains
G D7 G
They bend on hovering wing;
C F C
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
F G7 C
The blessed angels sing.
[Verse 3]
C F C
O ye, beneath life's crushing load
F D7 G7
Whose forms are bending low,
C F C
Who toil along the climbing way
F G7 C
With painful steps and slow
E7 Am
Look now! for glad and golden hours
G D7 G
Come swiftly on the wing;
C F C
O rest beside the weary road
F G7 C
And hear the angels sing
[Verse 4]
C F C
For lo! The days are hastening on
F D7 G7
by prophets seen of old
C F C
When with the ever-circling years
F G7 C
shall come the time foretold
E7 Am
When peace shall over all the earth
G D7 G
its ancient splendors fling
C F C
And the whole world send back the song
F G7 C
which now the angels sing!
