It came upon a midnight clear    (intro)    (midi 1)    (midi 2)

 

        G          C           G                             C         A7         D     - D7

1. It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old,

             G          C            G                        C               D           G

    from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold.

               B7                          Em                        A                 A7         D- D7

  "Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all gracious King !”
              G         C           G                     C          D         G

    The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.

 

(from here on no capo for midi 2)

 

               G               C         G                                C          A7         D  - D7

2. Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled,

             G            C             G                    C             D       G

    and still their heavenly music floats all o'er the weary world.

        B7                     Em                        A           A7           D      - D7

    Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing,

             G     C          G                          C         D         G

    and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
