Willis >>piano: Seventh-Day Adventist Hymnal #130 >>capo: 1 >>header:Verse 1: G C2 G C2 G C2 A7 D7 It came up - on a mid - night clear, That glorious song of old. G C2 G C2 G C2 D7 G From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: B7 Em D A7 D "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all gracious King;" G C2 G C2 G C2 D7 G The world in solemn still - ness lay, to hear the angels sing. >>header:Verse 2: G C2 G C2 G C2 A7 D7 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings un - furled, G C2 G C2 G C2 D7 G And still their heavenly mu - sic floats, O'er all the weary world; B7 Em D A7 D A - bove its sad and lowly plains, They bend on hovering wing, G C2 G C2 G C2 D7 G And ever o'er it Ba - bel sounds, The blessed angels sing. >>header:Verse 3: G C2 G C2 G C2 A7 D7 O ye be - neath life's crush - ing load, Whose forms are bending low G C2 G C2 G C2 D7 G Who toil a - long the climb - ing way, With painful steps and slow B7 Em D A7 D Look now! for glad and golden hours, Come swiftly on the wing; G C2 G C2 G C2 D7 G O rest beside the wea - ry road, And hear the angels sing.
