lyrics

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.


And thought how, as the day had stood,
the belfries of all brotherhood
had rolled along
the unbroken song
of peace on earth, good will to men.


Till ringing, singing on its way,
the world revolved from night to day.
A voice, a chime,
a chant sublime
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:
"We are not dead; nor doth we sleep!
The wrong shall fail,
the right prevail,
with peace on earth, good will to men!"
