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 as now
this day had come
The belfries of all
Christendom
Had run so long
The unbroken 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
