Misc Christmas - It came upon a midnight clear

It ^Gcame u^Ampon the ^Gmidnight clear, That ^Cglorious ^Emsong of ^Dold, From ^Gangels ^Ambending near the ^Gearth, To ^Ctouch their ^Dharps of ^Ggold; “Peace ^Bon the earth, good ^Emwill to men, From ^DHeav’n’s all-^Agracious ^DKing.^D7” The ^Gworld in ^Amsolemn ^Gstillness lay, To ^Chear the ^Dangels ^Gsing.

Still ^Gthrough the ^Amcloven ^Gskies they come With ^Cpeaceful ^Emwings un^Dfurled, And ^Gstill their ^Amheav’nly ^Gmusic floats O’er ^Call the ^Dweary ^Gworld; A^Bbove its sad and ^Emlowly plains, They ^Dbend on ^Ahov’ring ^Dwing,^D7 And ^Gever ^Amo’er its ^GBabel sounds The ^Cblessed ^Dangels ^Gsing.

Yet ^Gwith the ^Amwoes of ^Gsin and strife The ^Cworld has ^Emsuffered ^Dlong; Be^Gneath the ^Amangel ^Gstrain have rolled Two ^Cthousand ^Dyears of ^Gwrong; And ^Bman, at war with man, ^Emhears not The ^Dlove-song ^Awhich they ^Dbring^D7; Oh, ^Ghush the ^Amnoise, ye ^Gmen of strife And ^Chear the ^Dangels ^Gsing.

And ^Gye, be^Amneath life’s ^Gcrushing load, Whose ^Cforms are ^Embending ^Dlow, Who ^Gtoil a^Amlong the ^Gclimbing way With ^Cpainful ^Dsteps and ^Gslow, Look ^Bnow! for glad and ^Emgolden hours Come ^Dswiftly ^Aon the ^Dwing^D7. Oh, ^Grest be^Amside the ^Gweary road, And ^Chear the ^Dangels ^Gsing!

For ^Glo! the ^Amdays are ^Ghast’ning on, By ^Cprophet ^Emseen of ^Dold, When ^Gwith the ^Amever-^Gcircling years Shall ^Ccome the ^Dtime fore^Gtold When ^BChrist shall ^Emcome and all shall own The ^DPrince of ^APeace, their ^DKing,^D7 And ^Gsaints shall ^Ammeet Him ^Gin the air, And ^Cwith the ^Dangels ^Gsing!
