I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

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

Till ringing, singing on it's way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, 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

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
Oh God's not dead and not asleep
The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail
With peace on earth, good-will to men

Oh peace on earth, good will to men
Oh peace on earth, good will to men
Oh peace on earth, good will to men
Oh peace on earth, good will to men
