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