John Reagan - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Lyrics

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet their songs repeat

I thought of how this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth good will to men

And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace or God I said
For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of 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
