I heard the bells on christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
A peace on earth good will to men
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
A peace on 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
A peace on earth good will to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor does he sleep
For shuffle the right prevail
With peace on earth good will to men
