Verse 1

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
Their words repeat
Of peace on Earth
Good-will to men

Verse 2

And thought how as the day had come
The steeples of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on Earth
Good-will to men

Chorus

I heard them ringing
I heard them ringing
All across the Earth
I heard them ringing
The bells remember
They ring forever
Unto us a child is born
Our Savior

Verse 3

But 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 men

Chorus

I heard them ringing
I heard them ringing
All across the Earth
I heard them ringing
The bells remember
They ring forever
Unto us a child is born
Our Savior

Verse 4

Then pealed 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

Chorus

I heard them ringing
I heard them ringing
All across the Earth
I heard them ringing
The bells remember
They ring forever
Unto us a child is born
Our Savior
