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;
There is no peace on earth, I said
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail
The wight prevail
With peace on earth, good-will to men
