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 th'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 peeled the bells more loud 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" Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth Peace on Earth, Peace on Earth O, let us join that great refrain In song, in word and deed proclaim "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done! Peace on earth, good will to men!"
