It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Am              F
It came upon a midnight clear
Am                     E
That glorious song of old
Am                         F
From angels bending near the earth
F             G            Am
To touch their harps of gold
E                             Am     C
Peace on the earth, good will to men
Dm             F                  G
From heaven's all gracious King
Am                             F
The world in solemn stillness lay
F        G          Am
To hear the angels sing

Am                       F
Still through the cloven skies they come
Am                       E
With peaceful wings unfurled,
Am                                      F
And still their heavenly music floats
F           G         Am
O'er all the weary world
E                   Am    C
Above its sad and lowly plains
Dm               F            G
They bend on hovering wing;
Am                  F
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
F              G        Am
The blessed angels sing.

Am                     F
O ye, beneath life's crushing load
Am                           E
Whose forms are bending low,
Am                   F
Who toil along the climbing way
F           G             Am
With painful steps and slow
E                        Am      C
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Dm         F        G
Come swiftly on the wing;
Am                  F
O rest beside the weary road
F             G          Am
And hear the angels sing.
