C     F     C             
It came upon a midnight clear 
      F        D7      G7 
That glorious song of old 
     C       F      C             
From angels bending near the earth 
     F          G7       C   
To touch their harps of gold 
       E7                   Am         
"Peace on the earth,  good will to men 
       G       D7          G      
From heaven's all gracious King;" 
     C        F      C             
The world in solemn stillness lay, 
    F        G7     C 
To hear the angels sing 

Still through the cloven skies they come 
With peaceful wings unfurled, 
And still their heavenly music floats    
O'er all the weary world 
Above its sad and lowly plains 
They bend on hovering wing; 
And ever o'er its Babel sounds 
The blessed angels sing. 

O 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; 
O rest beside the weary road 
And hear the angels sing

In response to the request for Christmas songs, here is an arrangement
written here in the key of C.  The symbols below the tab are for
timing purposes:  one and two and three and,  etc.
                  ^   .   ^   .   ^     .

The chords all are pretty basic.  As far as the F and F6 go, I find
it easier to use the thumb to play the 6th string/1st fret rather
than using the barre F.  It makes for a much smoother transition 
when changing from C to F and back to C again.  Enjoy...

It came up -o -n the mid-night clear

6    -6  -7  7  7  -8 8  -8
that glo-ri-ous so-ng of old.

6    8  -7  -8  7  -6   6   -6   6
From an-gels be-nd-ing near the earth

6   -6    -6   -7  -6  6  7
to touch their ha-rps of gold:

8     8   5  5  -5    6   -6   -7  7
Peace on the ea-rth, good-will to men,

8    -8   7   -7  -6  -7 -6   6

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever over its Babel sounds
The blessèd angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
And 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.
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send
