Verse 1
    D         G        D            D
It came u-pon a midnight clear
         G           E7        A7
That glorious song of old
          D        G           D           D
From angels bending near the earth
     G                A7         D 
To touch their harps of gold

           F#7     F#7           Bm     Bm      
Peace on the earth good will to men
          A7               E7          A7  
From heaven's all gracious King
       D            G          D           
The world in solemn stillness lay
      G           A7      D
To hear the angels sing

Verse 2
        D                G          D             D
Still through the cloven skies they come
         G            E7           A7
With peaceful wings un-furled
        D            G             D        D
And still their heavenly music floats
         G        A7      D
Over all the weary world

     F#7       F#7      Bm     Bm
A-bove its sad and lowly plains
          A7        E7           A7 
They bend on hovering wing
        D     G          D        D
And ever over its Babel sounds
       G          A7      D 
The blessed angels sing

Verse 3
    D       G                D            D
O ye be-neath life's crushing load
            G              E7         A7  
Whose forms are bending low
         D      G            D            D
Who toil a-long the climbing way
         G          A7           D
With painful steps and slow

          F#7       F#7         Bm     Bm
Look now for glad and golden hours
           A7       E7       A7      
Come swiftly on the wing
    D         G           D        D
O rest be-side the weary road
        G           A7      D
And hear the angels sing

That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

With peaceful wings un-furled
And still their heavenly music floats
Over all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever over its Babel sounds

Whose forms are bending low
Who toil a-long the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours 
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest be-side the weary road
And hear the angels sing
