I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

I thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on Earth, goodwill 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, goodwill 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, goodwill to men

With peace on Earth, goodwill to men
With peace on Earth, goodwill to men
