I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of 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 does he sleep
For Christ is here His spirit near
Brings peace on earth, good will to men
Peace on earth, good will to men
