I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth goodwill to men I thought how as the day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along unbroken song Of peace on earth goodwill to men I can hear your voice I can hear your voice Like the bells on Christmas Day And in despair I bowed my head "There is no peace on earth" I said For hate is strong that mocks the song Of peace on earth goodwill to men (Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor does he sleep The wrong shall fail the right prevail With peace on earth goodwill to men) Till ringin' singin' on it's way The world revolve from night to day A voice a chime a chant sublime Of peace on earth goodwill to men Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor does he sleep The wrong shall fail the right prevail With peace on earth goodwill to men
