I Heard The Bell On Christmas Day Lyrics

I Heard The Bell On Christmas Day

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.

I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled 
along th`un broken 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."

Till, ringing singing on it`s way, The world revolved from night to day. A 
voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men.
