I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS 

Elvis Presley



Written by:  





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 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."

With peace on earth, good will to men."



Merry Christmas
