{title: It Came Upon The Midnight Clear}      

{comment: Verse 1}       
It [G]came up[C]on the m[G]idnight clear
That [C]glorious [A7]song of [D]old           
From [G]angels b[C]ending n[G]ear the earth
To [C]touch their  [D]harps of [G]gold   
"Peace [B7]on the earth, good [Em]will to men
From  [D]heaven's [A7]all gracious [D]King;"       
The [G]world in [C]solemn [G]stillness lay,
To [C]hear the  [D]angels [G]sing

{comment: Verse 2}       
Still [G]thro' the [C]cloven [G]skies they come
With[C] peaceful [A7]wings unf[D]urled           
And [G]still their [C]heavenly [G]music floats
O'er[C] all the [D]weary [G]world    
Abo[B7]ve its sad and [Em]lowly plains
They  [D]bend on [A7]hovering [D]wing       
And [G]ever o'[C]er its [G]Babel sounds
The [C]blessed [D] angels[G] sing

{comment: Verse 3}       
For [G]lo the [C]days are [G]hastening on
By [C]prophet [A7]bards fore[D]told          
When [G]with the [C]ever-cir[G]cling years 
Comes[C] round the [D]age of [G]gold
When[B7] peace shall over [Em]all the earth
Its  [D]ancient sp[A7]lendors f[D]ling    
And[G]the whole [C]world gives [G]back the song
Which[C] now the [D]angels [G]sing

{comment: Ending}       
O [G]hush the [C]noise ye [G]men of strife
And [C]hear the [D]angels [G]sing
