Strum
D-DU-UDU
It  came upon the midnight  clear
That  glorious song of old.
From  angels bending near the  earth
To  touch their harps  of gold;
“Peace  on the earth, goodwill  to men,
From  heaven’s all gracious King!”
The  world in solemn stillness  lay
To  hear the angels  sing.
 And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,
 Whose forms are bending low,
 Who toil along the climbing way
 With painful steps and slow,
 Look now, for glad and golden hours
 Come swiftly on the wing:
 And rest beside the weary road
And  hear the  angels sing.
 Hear the angels sing 4x
 For lo, the days are hastening on,
 By prophets seen of old
 When with the ever circling years
 Shall come the time foretold
 When peace shall over all the earth
 Its ancient splendors fling,
 And the whole world send back the song
 Which now the angels sing.
 Hear the angels sing 4x
