It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

Still through the cloven skies they come G, C, G with peaceful wings unfurled; A7, D7 and still their heavenly music floats G, C, G, o'er all the weary world; A7, D7, G above its sad and lowly plains B7, Em they bend on hovering wing, A7, D7 and ever o'er its Babel sounds G, C, G the blessed angels sing. A7, D7, G But with the woes of sin and strife G, C, G the world has suffered long; A7, D7 beneath the angel strain have rolled G, C, G, two thousands years of wrong; A7, D7, G and man, at war with man, hears not B7, Em the love song which they bring; A7, D7 O hush the noise, ye men of strife, G, C, G, and hear the angels sing. A7, D7, G For, lo! the days are hastening on, G, C, G by prophet bards foretold, A7, D7 when with the ever-circling years, G, C, G, comes round the age of gold, A7, D7, G when peace shall over all the earth B7, Em its ancient splendours fling, A7, D7 and the whole world give back the song G, C, G, which now the angels sing. A7, D7, G

G C G C D7 G C D7 G He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove G The glories of his ri-ghteousness and wonders of his lo-ve G D7 G And wonders of his love and wonders of his love and wo-nders

D7 G

wo-nders of his love.

Wassail Song - Lyrics & Chords

C Dm Em Dm C Dm Em Here we come a-w as sail ing, Dm C G7 C Amo ng the leaves so green; F G7 C Em Dm Here we come a- wandering, C F G7 C So fair to be seen:

Chorus:

C Am C

Love and joy come to you, Am Dm C Am C And to you your wa ssa il, too,

F C Am Dm C G C F

And God bless you and send you a happy New Year,C F G F Am DmC G C And God send you a ha ppy New Year.

Our wassail cup is made Of the rosemary tree, And so is your beer Of the best barley.

We are not daily beggars That beg from door to door, But we are neighbors' children Whom you have seen before.

We have got a little purse Of stretching leather skin; We want a little of your money To line it well within.

God bless the master of this house, Likewise the mistress, too; And all the little children That round the table go.

Good master and good mistress, While you're sitting by the fire, Pray think of us poor children Who are wandering in the mire.
