Verso 1

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

Verso 2

I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along unbroken song
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

Coro

Do they ring for the ones
Who have never seen
For the captive who cries out
To be free
For the lost to be found
Do the bells ring out
The song of peace on earth
Goodwill to men

Verso 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 goodwill to men

Coro

Do they ring for the ones
Who have never seen
For the captive who cries out
To be free
For the lost to be found
Do the bells ring out
The song of peace on earth
Goodwill to men

Verso 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 goodwill to men

Coro

I hear them ring for the one
Who have never seen
For the captive who cries out
To be free
For the lost to be found
Let the bells ring out
The song of peace on earth

Coro

I hear them ring for the one
Who have never seen
For the captive who cries out
To be free
Hear the joyful sound
As the bells ring out
The song of peace on earth
Goodwill to men
