I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play

And mild and sweet the words repeat

Of peace on earth good will to all

And thought how as the day had come

The belfries of all Christendom

They rolled along the unbroken song

Of peace on earth good will to all

I can hear them, I can hear them

I can hear them, I can hear them

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 all

Then peal the bells more loud and deep

God is not dead, nor doth He sleep

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

With peace on earth, good will to all

I can hear them, I can hear them

I can hear them, I can hear them
