I Heard the Bells

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Songs Suitable for Juniors First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, good will to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 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 men." 4 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, good will to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men!
