It came upon a midnight clear,    that glorious song of old  
     C      E   F   C    F   C7        F           G7       C    
From angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold  
 E7                       Am   E7  Am        G            D7       G      G7  
Peace on the earth,  good will to  men, from heaven's all gracious King'  
    C        E  F   C    F    C7      F        Dm7  G7 C  
The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.  
      E           F      C     F    C     G7      F        D7      G7  
Still through the cloven skies they come,    with peaceful wings unfurled  
    C           E     F  C  F  C7           F       G7    C    
And still their heavenly music floats, o all the weary world.  
 E7       Am      E7    Am            G       D7       G     G7  
Above its sad and lowly plains,  they bend on hovering wing  
    C    E    F   C  F  C7           F        Dm7  G7 C  
And ever o'er its Babel sounds,  the blessed  angels sing.  
   E     F            C   F    C    G7       F         D7      G7  
Oh ye, beneath life's crushing load,   whose forms are bending low 
 C  E     C    F    C   F   C7         F       G7        C    
Who toil along the climbing way,  with painful steps and slow.  
     E7      Am       E7     Am           G       D7     G      G7  
Look now for glad and golden hours,  come swiftly on the wing  
   C    E   C  F   C  F  C7          F             Dm7 G7       C          
Oh rest beside the weary road,  and  hear   the    an     sing      (Slowing)  
     F             Dm7 G7       C          
And  hear   the    an     sing
