It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

Intro:
C  F  C    F  G7  C

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

Verse 2:
      C           F      C
Still through the cloven skies they come
     F        D7      G7
With peaceful wings unfurled,
    C           F        C
And still their heavenly music floats
     F       G7    C
O'er all the weary world
 E7               Am
Above its sad and lowly plains
     G       D7       G
They bend on hovering wing;
    C    F        C
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
    F       G7     C
The blessed angels sing.

Verse 3:
  C     F            C
O ye, beneath life's crushing load
      F         D7      G7
Whose forms are bending low,
    C     F        C
Who toil along the climbing way
     F       G7        C
With painful steps and slow
     E7                Am
Look now! for glad and golden hours
     G       D7     G
Come swiftly on the wing;
  C      F        C
O rest beside the weary road
    F        G7     C
And hear the angels sing

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

Verse 1
It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King;"
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing

Verse 2
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.

Verse 3
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

Verse 4

When with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world send back the song
