I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Lyrics

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Recorded by Steven Curtis Chapman
Verse One:
I heard the bells on Christmas day, their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat of, peace on earth, goodwill to men
Verse Two:
And I thought how as the day had come, the belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Verse Three:
'Til ringing, singing on its way, the world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Verse Four:
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, goodwill to men
aj7
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Yeah, yeah
Verse Five:
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, goodwill to men
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Goodwill to men
I heard the bells on Christmas day
(repeat and fade)
