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 old Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
'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
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said
"For hate is strong and it mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men"
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
"God is not dead, nor does He sleep
The wrong shall fail and the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men"
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
