i heard the bells on christmas day

Sandi Patty

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will 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, good will to men

And in despair I bowed my head
ââ?¬Å?There is no peace on earth,ââ?¬ I said
ââ?¬Å?For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.ââ?¬

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
ââ?¬Å?God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.ââ?¬
Good will to men!
