Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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

Outro

Oh oh oh
Good will to men
