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
