Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth
Peace on earth

I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth
Peace on earth
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
Peace on earth

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
Peace on earth"
I heard the bells on Christmas day   Their old familiar carols play   And wild and sweet the words repeat   Of peace on earth   Peace on earth      I thought how as the day had come   The belfries of all Christendom   Had rolled along the unbroken song   Of peace on earth   Peace on earth   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   Peace on earth      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   Peace on earth"
