I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
I heard the bells
On Christmas Day
The old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace and goodwill to all
I thought of how
The day was here
And how from belfries everywhere
Had run so long the unbroken song
Of peace on earth
Good will to all
Peace on earth
Goodwill to all
Peace on earth
And in despair
I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and mocks us all
Of peace on earth, good will to all
Peacе on earth
Goodwill to all
Peace on еarth
Then pealed the bells
More loud and deep
God is not dead, nor does God sleep
And hate will fail and love prevails
With peace on earth, good will to all
Peace on earth
Good will to all
Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Good will to all
Peace on earth
