A5              F5
It came upon a midnight clear
A5                     E5
That glorious song of old
A5                         F5
From angels bending near the earth
F5             G5            A5
To touch their harps of gold
E5                             A5     C5
Peace on the earth, good will to men
D5             F5                  G5
From heaven's all gracious King
A5                             F5
The world in solemn stillness lay
F5        G5          A5
To hear the angels sing

A5                       F5
Still through the cloven skies they come
A5                       E5
With peaceful wings unfurled,
A5                                      F5
And still their heavenly music floats
F5           G5         A5
O'er all the weary world
E5                   A5    C5
Above its sad and lowly plains
D5               F5            G5
They bend on hovering wing;
A5                  F5 
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
F5              G5        A5
The blessed angels sing.

A5                     F5
O ye, beneath life's crushing load
A5                           E5
Whose forms are bending low,
A5                   F5
Who toil along the climbing way
F5           G5             A5
With painful steps and slow
E5                        A5      C5
Look now! for glad and golden hours
D5         F5        G5
Come swiftly on the wing;
A5                  F5    
O rest beside the weary road
F5             G5          A5
And hear the angels sing.
