I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet, their words repeat
Peace on earth, goodwill to men

I thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along in unbroken song
Peace on earth, goodwill to men

Peace on earth
Peace on earth

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, goodwill to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Goodwill, goodwill to men

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Goodwill, goodwill to men

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Goodwill
