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 The evening's singing on its way The world revolts from night to day A voice, a chime, a chance 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 peal the bells more loud and deep Oh, God's not dead and not asleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail Of peace on earth, good will to men Of peace on earth, good will to men Of peace on earth, good will to men Of peace on earth, good will to men
