I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day lyrics

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 as now this day has come the belfries of all Christendom
Had rung along the unbroken song of peace on earth goodwill to men
[ string ]
And in despair I bowed my head there is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong that mocks the song of peace on earth goodwill to men
(Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor doubt he sleeps)
The wrong shall fail the right prevail with peace on earth goodwill to men
