I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet their songs repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men
And the bells are ringing Like a choir they're singing In my heart I hear them 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
But the bells are ringing Like a choir singing Does anybody hear them? Peace on earth, good will to men
Then the bells rang more load and deep God is not dead, nor does He sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men
Then ringing singing on its way The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men
And the bells they're ringing Like a choir they're singing And with our hearts we hear them Peace on earth, good will to men Do you hear the bells they're ringing? The life the angles singing Open up your heart and hear them Peace on earth, good will to men Peace on earth, Peace on earth Peace on earth, Good will to men
