I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

I heard the bells on christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all christendom Had rolled along th' 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 it's way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men.
