I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS

Written by:

|
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 all Christendom
|
Had rolled along the¡¯ unbroken song
|
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:
|
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
|
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
|
With peace on earth, good will to men."
|
With peace on earth, good will to men."

Merry Christmas
