Burl Ives I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Lyrics

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 as now this day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rang so long the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

{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."

{Good will 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, good will to men."

{Good will to men....}
