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