I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

(album: Sing Noël - 2017)

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And loud 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 the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Peace on earth

And in despair, I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said
For hate is strong, and marks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

Then peeled the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, He does not sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men

Peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Peace on earth

Peace on earth
Peace on earth

'Til ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
