Verse 1:
G+G C majorC G+G
It came upon the midnight clear,
C majorC A augmentedA D MajorD
That glorious song of old,
G+G C majorC G+G
From angels bending near the earth
C majorC D MajorD G+G
To touch their harps of gold!
B7B7 E minorEm
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
From heaven's all gracious King!
G+G C majorC G+G
The world in solemn stillness lay
C majorC D MajorD G+G
To hear the angels sing.
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC G+G
Still, through the cloven skies, they come
C majorC A augmentedA D MajorD
With peaceful wings unfurled
G+G C majorC G+G
And still their heavenly music floats
C majorC D MajorD G+G
O'er all the weary world;
B7B7 E minorEm
Above its sad and lowly plains
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
They bend on hovering wing.
G+G C majorC G+G
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
C majorC D MajorD G+G
The blessed angels sing.
Verse 3:
G+G C majorC G+G
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
C majorC A augmentedA D MajorD
The world hath suffered long;
G+G C majorC G+G
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Two thousand years of wrong;
B7B7 E minorEm
And man, at war with man, hears not
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
The love song which they bring:
G+G C majorC G+G
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And hear the angels sing
Verse 4:
G+G C majorC G+G
For lo! the days are hastening on
C majorC A augmentedA D MajorD
By prophet bards foretold
G+G C majorC G+G
When, with the ever-circling years,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Shall come the Age of Gold;
B7B7 G+G
When peace shall over all the earth
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
It's ancient splendors fling,
G+G C majorC G+G
And all the world give back the song
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Which now the angels sing.
