I hear the bells on Christmas day, their old familiar carols play / And wild and sweet the words repeat peace on earth good will to men / I thought how as the day had come the belfries of old Christendom / Had rolled along the unbroken song of 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 of peace on earth good will 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 good will to men / Till ringing singing on its way the world revolved from night to day / A voice a chime a chant sublime of peace on earth good will to men
