I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

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 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 Oh God's not dead and not asleep The Wrong shall fail The Right prevail With peace on earth, good-will to men Peace on earth, good-will to men Peace on earth, good-will to men Peace on earth, good-will to men Peace on earth, good-will to men
