I heard the bells on Christmas DayTheir old, familiar carols playand wild and sweetThe words repeatOf peace on earth, good-will to men!Till ringing, singing on its wayThe world revolved from night to dayA voice, a chimeA chant sublimeOf 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 strongAnd mocks the songOf peace on earth, good-will to men! « Then pealed the bells more loud and deep »God is not dead, nor doth He sleepThe Wrong shall failThe Right prevailWith peace on earth, good-will to menPeace on earth, good-will to men (x4)
