I Heard the Bells

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

And thought how as the day had come

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along the unbroken song

Of peace on Earth

good will to men

I can hear them

I can hear them

I can hear them

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 does He sleep

The wrong shall fail

the right prevail

With peace on Earth

good will to men

I can hear You

I can hear You

I can hear You

I could still hear You

The world can hear You
