I heard the bells on Christmas day

-6

Their old familiar carols play

 And wild and sweet, the words repeat

 Of peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, good will to men

 I thought how, as the day had come

-6

The belfries of all Christendom

 Had rolled along the unbroken song

 Of peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, good will to men

-6

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

  Peace on earth, good will to men

| | | -6 | | | | | | | |

 Then pealed the bells, more loud and deep

-6

God is not dead, nor doth he sleep

 The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

 With peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, good will to men

 I heard the bells on Christmas day

-6

Their old familiar carols play

Wild and sweet, the words repeat

 Of peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, good will to men
