I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And, wild and sweet, the words repeat
Peace on Earth, ah ah ah ah ah
Peace on Earth, ah ah ah ah
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on this Earth," I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Where is my peace on Earth? I cannot see it
There is no peace on this Earth. I cannot feel it
Then rang the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, no, He does not sleep
The Wrong shall fail; the Right prevail
(O come, O come, we pray)
(The prince of Peace to reign)
(Let Him wipe tears away)
(Heal us from all our pain)
(O come, O come, we pray)
(Show us a better way)
(Bring us a brighter day)
Till ringing, singing (bring us a brighter day)
On its way (the Prince of Prince to reign)
The world revolves (to wipe our tears away)
From night to day (to heal from all our pain)
A voice, a chime (bring us a brighter day)
A chant sublime (To show a better way, the Prince of Peace to reign)
Peace on Earth, ah ah ah ah ah
(He comes, He comes today, the Prince of Peace to reign)
Peace on Earth, ah ah ah ah
(To wipe our tears away, to heal from all our pain)
Peace on Earth, ah ah ah ah ah
(He comes, He comes today, to show a better way)
Peace on Earth, ah ah ah ah ah
(To bring a brighter day, the Prince of Peace to reign)
