I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet

The words repeat
Of peace on earth goodwill 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 goodwill 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 goodwill to men
