Heard the Bells

I heard the bells on Christmas Day.

The old familiar carols play.

Wise and sweet, the words repeat.

Of peace on earth, goodwill to man.

I thought about when this day had come.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day.

The old familiar carols play.

Wise and sweet, the words repeat?

Of peace on earth and goodwill to men.

I thought about when this day had come.

The bells ring loud, and Christ comes down.

It rang so long that I wrote this song of

Peace on earth and goodwill to men

In despair, I bow my head

There is no peace on earth, I said.

The hate is strong, and it Sparks the song of peace on earth and goodwill to men.

I hear the bells more loud and deep.

God does not fear, nor does he sleep.

The Wrongs shall fail, and the word prevail.

With peace on earth and goodwill to man

(harmony humming)

I heard the bells on Christmas Day.

The old familiar carols play.

Wise and sweet, the words repeat.

Of peace on earth and goodwill to men.
