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

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

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.

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
