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
