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!
Till ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime 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 Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men.
