I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to menI thought as how this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled so long, the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to menAnd in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth", I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to menThen pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to menThen pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to menThe wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men
