C5 F5 C5 It came upon a midnight clear F5 D5 G5 That glorious song of old C5 F5 C5 From angels bending near the earth F5 G5 C5 To touch their harps of gold E5 A5 "Peace on the earth, good will to men G5 D5 G5 From heaven's all gracious King;" C5 F5 C5 The world in solemn stillness lay, F5 G5 C5 To hear the angels sing Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing; And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 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 And hear the angels sing
