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

And thought how as the day had come

The belfries of all christendom

Had rolled along

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

Of peace on earth good will to men
