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