It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

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
G7 D7 G7
From heaven's all gracious King
C F C
The world in solemn stillness lay
F G7 C
To hear the angels sing
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
Over all the weary world
E7 Am
Above its sad and lowly plains
G7 D7 G7
They bend on hovering wing
C F C
And ever over its Babel sounds
F G7 C
The blessed angels sing
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
G7 D7 G7
Come swiftly on the wing
C F C
O rest beside the weary road
F G7 C
And hear the angels sing
