I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY (Set to "Herongate")

Christmas Carols

See LYRICS

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet, The words repeat,
"Peace on the earth, good will to all".

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth", I said.
"For hate is strong, And mocks the song,
Peace on the earth, good will to all".

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, and doth not sleep!
The wrong shall fail, The right prevail-
Peace on the earth, good will to all".
