I heard the bells on Christmas Day
A Bm F#m
Their old, familiar carols play,
A Bm
and wild and sweet
D
The words repeat
D
Of peace on earth, good-will....to men!
A Bm F#m F#m (x2)
A Bm D
Till ringing, singing on its way,
A Bm F#m
The world revolved from night to day,
A Bm
B voice, a chime,
D
B chant sublime
D
Of peace on earth, good-will....to men!
A Bm F#m F#m (x4)
A Bm D
And in despair I bowed my head;
A Bm F#m
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
A Bm
"For hate is strong,
D
And mocks the song
D D
Of peace on earth, good-will....to men!"
A Bm D
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
A Bm F#m
"God is not dead, And not asleep;
A Bm
The Wrong shall fail,
D
The Right prevail,

With Peace on earth, good-will to men
