I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day lyrics

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

Until ringing singing on its way

The world revolve from night to day

A voice a chime a chance so blind

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
