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, as now this day had come
|
The belfries of all Christendom
|
Had rung so long
|
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
|
