INTRO
[C] [F] [|] [C]   [|] [F] [G7] [|] [C]
 
VERSE 1
It [|][C]came u[F]pon a [|][C]midnight clear
That [|][F]glorious [D7]song of [|][G7]old
From [|][C]angels [F]bending [|][C]near the earth
To [|][F]touch their [G7]harps of [|][C]gold
"Peace [|][E7]on the earth, good [|][Am]will to men
From [|][G]heaven's all [D7]gracious [|][G]King;"
The [|][C]world in [F]solemn [|][C]stillness lay,
To [|][F]hear the [G7]angels [|][C]sing

VERSE 2
Still [|][C]through the [F]cloven [|][C]skies they come
With [|][F]peaceful [D7]wings un[|][G7]furled,
And [|][C]still their [F]heavenly [|][C]music floats
O'er [|][F]all the [G7]weary[|] [C]world
A[|][E7]bove its sad and [|][Am]lowly plains
They [|][G]bend on [D7]hovering [|][G]wing;
And [|][C]ever [F]o'er its [|][C]Babel sounds
The [|][F]blessed [G7]angels [|][C]sing.
 
VERSE 3
O [|][C]ye, be[F]neath life's [|][C]crushing load
Whose [|][F]forms are [D7]bending [|][G7]low,
Who [|][C]toil a[F]long the [|][C]climbing way
With [|][F]painful [G7]steps and [|][C]slow
Look [|][E7]now! for glad and [|][Am]golden hours
Come [|][G]swiftly [D7]on the [|][G]wing;
O [|][C]rest be[F]side the [|][C]weary road
And [|][F]hear the [G7]angels [|][C]sing

VERSE 4
For [|][C]lo!  The [F]days are [|][C]hastening on
by [|][F]prophets [D7]seen of [|][G7]old
When [|][C]with the [F]ever[|][C]circling years
shall [|][F]come the [G7]time fore[|][C]told
When [|][E7]peace shall over [|][Am]all the earth
its [|][G]ancient [D7]splendors [|][G]fling
And [|][C]the whole[F] world send [|][C]back the song
which [|][F]now the [G7]angels [|][C]sing!
