   E     A     E  Esus4 E 
It came upon a midnight clear 
     F#m              B 
That glorious song of old 
     E      A       E    Esus4 E 
From angels bending near the   earth 
   A           B        E 
To touch their harps of gold 

      G# 
Peace on the earth 
     C#m 
Good will to men 
     F#m               B 
From heaven's gracious King 

    E        A      E   Esus4 E 
The world in solemn stillness lay 
   A        B      E 
To hear the angels sing 

E 

      E           A      E     Esus4 E 
Still through the cloven skies they  come 
     F#m              B 
With peaceful wings unfurled 
    E         A        E Esus4 E 
And still the heavenly music   floats 
A            B     E 
Over all the weary world 

 G#               C#m 
Above its sad and lonely plains 
     F#m              B 
They bend on hovering wings 
    E        A     E  Esus4 E 
And o'er its Babel ancient  sounds 
    A       B      E 
The blessed angels sing 

E 

   E      A           E  Esus4 E 
Oh you beneath life's crushing load 
      F#m               B 
Whose forms are bending low 
    E     A        E   Esus4 E 
Who toil along the climbing  way 
     A       B         E 
With painful steps and slow 

     G#               C#m 
Look now for glad and golden hours 
     F#m            B 
Come swiftly on the way 

   E      A        E  Esus4 E 
Oh rest beside the weary    road 
   A        B      E 
To hear the angels sing 

A B E
