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! Till ringing, singing on it's 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: "Oh God's not dead and not asleep The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail With peace on earth, good-will to men!" Oh peace on earth, good will to men Oh peace on earth, good will to men Oh peace on earth, good will to men Oh peace on earth, good will to men
