I heard the bells

I heard the bells Lyrics

Verse 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth goodwill to men Verse 2 I thought how as the day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth goodwill to men Verse 3 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 goodwill to men Verse 4 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 goodwill to men Verse 5 Till ringing singing on its way The world revolved from night to day A voice a chime a chant sublime Of peace on earth goodwill to men
