I heard the bells on Christmas Day
|
their old familiar carols play
|
And wild and sweet the words repeat
|
of peace on earth goodwill to men
|
|
I thought how as the day had come
|
the belfries of all Christendom
|
Had rolled along unbroken song
|
of peace on earth goodwill to men
|
|
I can hear your voice, I can hear your voice
|
like the bells on Christmas Day.
|
|
And in despair I bowed my head
|
"there is no peace on earth" I said
|
For hate is strong that mocks the song
|
of peace on earth goodwill to men
|
|
(Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
|
God is not dead nor does he sleep
|
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
|
with peace on earth goodwill to men)
|
|
Till ringin' singin' on its way
|
the world revolve from night to day
|
A voice a chime a chant sublime
|
of peace on earth goodwill to men
|
|
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
|
God is not dead nor does he sleep
|
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
|
with peace on earth goodwill to men
|
