I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along unbroken song
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

Then 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 goodwill to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
We're only what we sow and reap
If we are ever to get along
Then we ourselves must right the wrongs
For peace on earth goodwill to men
