{comment: Verse 1}
It [G#]came up[C#]on the m[G#]idnight clear,
That [C#]glorious [A#7]song of [D#]old,
From [G#]angels b[C#]ending n[G#]ear the earth,
To [C#]touch their [D#/G]harps of [G#]gold:
Peace [Cm]on the earth, good [Fm]will to men,
From [D#]heaven's all [A#7]gracious [D#]King.
The [G#]world in [C#]solemn [G#]stillness lay,
To [C#]hear the [D/F#]angels [G#]sing.

{comment: Verse 2}
Yet [G#]with the [C#]woes of [G#]sin and strife
The [C#]world has [A#7]suffered [D#]long;
Be[G#]neath the [C#]angel [G#]strain have rolled
Two [C#]thousand [D#/G]years of [G#]wrong;
And [Cm]man, at war with [Fm]man, hears not
The [D#]love song [A#7]which they [D#]bring;
O [G#]hush the [C#]noise, ye [G#]men of strife,
And [C#]hear the [D#/G]angels [G#]sing.

{comment: Verse 3}
And [G#]ye, ben[C#]eath life’s [G#]crushing load,
Whose [C#]forms are [A#7]bending [D#]low,
Who [G#]toil al[C#]ong the [G#]climbing way
With [C#]painful [D#/G]steps and [G#]slow,
Look [Cm]now for glad and [Fm]golden hours
Come [D#]swiftly [A#7]on the [D#]wing.
O [G#]rest be[C#]side the [G#]weary road,
And [C#]hear the [D#/G]angels [G#]sing.

{comment: Verse 4}
For [G#]lo the [C#]days are [G#]hastening on,
By [C#]prophet [A#7]bards fore [D#]told,
When [G#]with the [C#]ever cir[G#]cling years,
Comes[C#] round the [D#/G]age of [G#]gold.
When[Cm] peace shall over [Fm]all the earth
Its [D#]ancient sp[A#7]lendors f[D#]ling,
And[G#]the whole [C#]world gives [G#]back the song
Which [C#]now the [D#/G]angels [G#]sing
