I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Ring the bells, Christmas
Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her king

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
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
Peace on earth, good will to men

And in despair I bowed my hеad:
“There is no peacе on earth,” I said
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
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 right prevail
With peace on earth, good will
(Good will, good will) to men.”
Good will, good will To men!
