The Petersens - I Heard the Bells lyrics

Artist: The Petersens

album: Christmas with the Petersens


I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will
Then from each black accursed mouth
The cannons thundered in the south
And with the sound, the carols drown
Of peace on earth, good will to men
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearthstones of our continent
And made forlorn, the households born
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will
Then in despair I hung my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail and the right prevail
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Till, ringing singing, on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will to men
