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 th'un broken 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."



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.
