IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR – Arrangement by Mercy Me
Intro-Organ fade in on , then guitars, and bass (softly) x4
……….It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Enter the drums, A D x2 (Instrumental Bridge)
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
"Peace on earth, good will to men
From heaven's gracious King;
(Instrumental Bridge)
Yet with the woes of sin and strife,
The world has suffered long.
Beneath the blessed angel strain have rolled
Two-thousand years of wrong.
"Peace on earth, good will to men
From heaven's gracious King;
(vocal and bass drum only)
Oh hush the noise you men of strife
And hear the angels…

"Peace on earth, good will to men
G D (hard, loud, and hold)
From heaven's gracious King…………………….
………The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels’ song
To hear the angels’ song….
A D x4 then softly close on A - Organ, guitar and bass only.
