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
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
That mocks the song
Of peace on earth
Good will 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
Good will to men
Till ringing
Singing on its way
The world revolve
From night to day
A voice, a chime
A chance so blind
Of peace on earth
Good will 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
Good will to men
