C              G        C     G     C     G             

Angels we have heard on high,  It came upon a midnight clear 
C               G           C        C        A7      D7 
Singing sweetly through the night,  That glorious song of old 
C                 G  C       G       C      G             
And the mountains in reply  From angels bending near the earth 
C             G       C       C          D7       G   
Echoing their brave delight.  To touch their harps of gold 
       Bm                   Em         
CHORUS:  "Peace on the earth,  good will to men 
C     Dm   C    G         D       A7          D     
Gloria...............  From heaven's all gracious King;" 
    C         G       G        C      G             
in excelsis Deo.  The world in solemn stillness lay, 
C     Dm     C     G      C        D7     G 
Gloria...............  To hear the angels sing 
      C     G    C 
in excelsis Deo.  Still through the cloven skies they come 
With peaceful wings unfurled, 
C                   G   C  And still their heavenly music floats 
Shepherds, why this jubilee?  O'er all the weary world 
C                  G     C  Above its sad and lowly plains 
Why these songs of happy cheer?  They bend on hovering wing; 
C                     G       C  And ever o'er its Babel sounds 
What great brightness did you see?  The blessed angels sing. 
C                G       C 
What glad tiding did you hear? O ye, beneath life's crushing load 
Whose forms are bending low, 
Come to Bethlehem and see  Who toil along the climbing way 
Him whose birth the angels sing;  With painful steps and slow 
Come, adore on bended knee  Look now! for glad and golden hours 
Christ, the Lord, the new­born King.  Come swiftly on the wing; 
O rest beside the weary road 
See him in a manger laid  And hear the angels sing.
Whom the angels praise above; 
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,  As little children
While we raise our hearts in love. We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
Em  We knew we'd find
But we never realized
God rest ye merry, gentlemen 
A baby born one blessed night
    C              B7 
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
let nothing you dismay 
  Em  We were the reason
Remember Christ our Savior  That He gave His life
    C                 B7  We were the reason
was born on Christmas Day  That He suffered and died
   Am               G  To a world that was lost
To save us all from Satan's pow'r  He gave all He could give
     Em             D  To show us the reason to live
when we were gone a­stray 
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
Chorus: 
The giving of ourselves
  G          B7          Em  And what that means
O tidings of comfort and joy,  On a dark and cloudy day
            D  A man hung crying in the rain
comfort and joy!  All because of love, all because of love
  G          B7          Em 
O tidings of comfort and joy I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
He is my reason to live
