David Phelps - I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day lyrics

rate me

I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old familiar carols play And loud and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. I thought how as the day had come The belfries of a Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. Then in despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on earth,” I said "For hate is strong and it mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." Then peeled the bells more loud and deep, God is not dead nor does He sleep. The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men
