G C G C
O Shepherd O shepherd come leave off your piping
G C D
Come listen come learn come hear what I say
D G C G C
For now is the time that has long been for-spoken
C G D G
For now is the time there'll be new tunes to play
G C G
For soon there comes one who brings a new music
G C Am G D
Of sweetness and clarity none can compare
D G C
So open your heart for heavenly harmony
G D G
Here on this hill will be filling the air
[Chorus]
G C G
With chariots of cherubim chanting
G C G
And seraphim singing hosanna
G C G C Am C D
And a choir of archangels a-caroling come Hallelujah Hallelu
G C
All the angels a-trumpeting glory
C G D G
In praise of the Prince of Peace
[Verse 2]
G C G C
See on yon stable the starlight is shimmering
G C D
And glimmering and glistening and glowing with glee
D G C G C
In Bethlehem blest this baby of bliss will be
C G D G
Born here before you as bold as can be
G C G
And you'll be the first to hear the new symphony
C Am G D
Songs full of gladness and glory and light
D G C
So learn your tunes well and play your pipes proudly
C G D G
For the Prince of Paradise plays here tonight.

With chariots of cherubim chanting

All the angels a-trumpeting glory
C G D G
In praise of the Prince of Peace
[Verse 3]
G C G C
Bring your sheep bleating to this happy meeting
G C D
To hear how the lamb with the lion shall lie
D G C G C
It's mooing and braying you'll hear the song saying
C G D G
The humble and lowly will be the most high
G C G
Let the horn of the herdsman be heard up in heaven
G C Am G D
For the gates are flung open for all who come near
D G C
And the simplest of souls shall sing to infinity
G D G
Lift up and listen and you shall hear.
[Chorus]

All the angels a-trumpeting glory
C G D G
In praise of the Prince of Peace
[Verse 4]
G C G C
The warmonger's charger will thunder for freedom
G C D
The gun-maker's furnace will dwindle and die
D G C G C
And muskets and sabers and swords shall be sundered
C G D G
Surrendered to the sound that is sweeping the sky
G C G
And the shoes of the mighty shall dance to new measures
G C Am G D
And the jackboots of generals shall jangle no more
D G C
As sister and brother and father and mother
G D G
Agree with each other the end to all war
[Chorus]
G C G
With chariots of cherubim chanting
G C G
And seraphim singing hosanna
G C G C Am C D
And a choir of archangels a-caroling come Hallelujah Hallelu
G C
All the angels a-trumpeting glory
C G D G
In praise of the Prince of Peace
[Verse 5]
G C G C
As a candle can conquer the demons of darkness
G C D
As a flame can keep frost from the deepest of cold
D G C G C
So a song can give hope in the depths of all danger
C G D G
And a line of pure melody soar in your soul
G C G
So sing your songs well and sing your songs sweetly
G C Am G D
And swear that your singing it never shall cease
D G C
So the clatter of battle and drums of disaster
G D G
Be drowned in the sound of the pipes of peace
[Chorus]
G C G
With chariots of cherubim chanting
G C G
And seraphim singing hosanna
G C G C Am C D
And a choir of archangels a-caroling come Hallelujah Hallelu
G C
All the angels a-trumpeting glory
C G D G
In praise of the Prince of Peace
