I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Johnny Marks
[Verse 1]
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 man
[Verse 2]
I thought as now this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rung so long the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to man
[Verse 3]
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 man
[Verse 4]
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, thе right prevail
With peace on еarth, good will to man
