    E     A/E  E7M      A/E
It came upon a midnight clear

     A/C#     F#7     B7
That glorious song of old

     E      A/E     E7M      A/E
From angels bending near the earth

   A/C#        B7       E
To touch their harps of gold

       G#7                C#m
"Peace on the earth, good will to men

     B            F#7      B
From heaven's all gracious King;"

    E        A/E    E7M       A/E
The world in solemn stillness lay,

   A        B7     E
To hear the angels sing
[Verse 2}
      E           A/E    E7M        A/E
Still through the cloven skies they come

     A/C#     F#7     B7
With peaceful wings unfurled,

    E           A/E      E7M   A/E
And still their heavenly music floats

     A/C#    B7    E
O’er all the weary world

 G#7                C#m
Above it’s said and lowly plains

     B       F#7      B
They bend on hovering wing;

    E    A/E      E7M   A/E
And ever o'er its Babel sounds

    A       B7     E
The blessed angels sing.
[Verse 3]
  E     A/E          E7M      A/E
O ye, beneath life's crushing load

      A/C#      F#7     B7
Whose forms are bending low,

    E     A/E      E7M      A/E
Who toil along the climbing way

     A/C#    B7        E
With painful steps and slow

     G#7               C#m
Look now! For glad and golden hours

     B       F#7    B
Come swiftly on the wing;

  E      A/E      E7M   A/E
O rest beside the weary road

    A        B7     E
And hear the angels sing
