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

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

All 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
And hear the angels sing
