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
|
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 doubt he sleeps
|
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 chance so blind on earth goodwill to men
|
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor doubt he sleeps
|
The wrong shall fail the right prevail with peace on earth goodwill to men
|
