Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Christmas Bells
[Verse 1]
Heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play
Wild and sweet, the words repeat
Peace on earth, goodwill to all
Peace on earth, goodwill to all
[Verse 2]
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 all
Peace on earth, goodwill to all
[Verse 3]
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said
"For hate is strong and mocks the song"
Peace on earth, goodwill to all
Peacе on earth, goodwill to all
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
Then pealеd the bells more loud and deep
"God is not dead, nor does He sleep
The wrong shall fail and the good prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to all
Peace on earth, goodwill to all
Peace on earth, goodwill to all
Peace on earth, goodwill
