[V1]
 C     F     C
 It came upon the 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, goodwill to men
G       D7          G
 From heav'n's all-gracious King!" ||
C        F      C  
 The world in solemn stillness lay
F        G7     C
 To hear the angels sing.
 
[V2]
 Still through the cloven skies they come,
 With peaceful wings unfurled; ||
 And still their heav'nly music floats 
 O'er all the weary world ||
 Above its sad and lowly plains
 They bend on hov-'ring wing, ||
 And ever o'er its Babel sounds
 The blessed angels sing.
 
[V3]
 And 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; ||
 Oh rest beside the weary road
 And hear the angels sing.
 
[V4]
 For lo! the days are hastening on,
 By prophets bards foretold, ||
 When with the ever-circling years
 Comes round the age of gold. ||
 When peace shall o-ver all the earth
 Its ancient splendors fling, ||
 And the whole world give back the song
 Which now the angels sing.

F                   C
 Every high thing must come down
G                     Dm
 Every stronghold shall be broken ||

 You wear the Victor's crown ||
