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 evening's singing on its way The world revolts 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 marks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep O God's not dead and not asleep

The wrong shall fill, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men

With peace on earth, good will to men
