I HEARD THE BELL 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?un broken 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.
