I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet the songs repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men
And the bells they're ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth)
And in my heart I hear them
(Peace on earth) peace on earth
Good will to men (good will to men)
And 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 men (peace on earth)
But the bells they're ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth)
Does anybody hear them?
(Peace on earth) peace on earth, good will to men
(Peace and good will to men)
Then rang the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor does He sleep
(Peace on earth, peace on earth)
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men
(Good will to men)
Then 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 (peace on earth)
And the bells are ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth)
And with our hearts, we'll hear them
(Peace on earth) peace on earth, good will to men
Do you hear the bell's they're ringing
(Peace on earth, good will to men)
Like the angels singing (peace on earth, good will to men)
Open up your heart and hear them
(Peace on earth) peace on earth
Good will to men (good will to men)
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth, good will to men
