Lyrics

It (Abmaj7)came up on

the (Abmaj7)mid night clear, that (Fm)glo ri ous song of old,

from (Abmaj7)an gels (Ab6)bend ing near the earth

to (Fm)touch their (Ebsus)harps of (Abmaj7)gold:

“Peace (Gm7)on the earth, good (Fm)will to men,

from (Eb)heav en’s all (Bb)gra cious King!”

The (Abmaj7)world in (Ab6)sol emn still ness lay

to (Fm)hear the (Ebsus)an (Eb)gels (Abmaj7)sing.

Yet (Abmaj7)with the woes

of (Abmaj7)sin and strife the (Fm)world ri has suf fered long;

be (Abmaj7)neath the (Ab6)an gels’ strain have rolled

two (Fm)thou sand (Ebsus)years of (Abmaj7)wrong.

And (Gm7)man, at war with (Fm)man, hears not

the (Eb)love en’s song (Bb)which they bring.

O (Abmaj7)hush the (Ab6)noise, ye men of strife,

and (Fm)hear the (Ebsus)an (Eb)gels (Abmaj7)sing.

Yet (Fm)hear the (Ebsus)an (Eb)gels (Gb)sing!

(Ab)Hear the an gels (Gb)sing.

And (Csus)now, for (C7)glad and (Fm)gold en hours come (Eb)swift ly (Bb)on the (Eb)wing.

O (Abmaj7)rest be (Ab6)side the (Abmaj7)wea ry road

and (Fm)hear the (Ebsus)an

(Eb)gels

(Abmaj7)sing.

(Dbsus2)Hear the an gels (Abmaj7)sing.

Hear the (Dbsus2)an gels sing.

(Abmaj7)Hal

(Ab6)le

(Abmaj7)lu

(Ab6)jah!

(Fm7)Christ

the

(Ebsus)Sav ior is (Dbsus2)born!

(Abmaj7)Hal

(Ab6)le

(Abmaj7)lu

(Ab6)jah!

(Fm7)Christ

the
