(Henrey Wadsworth) 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 men 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 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" I heard a voice within me say "Do not despair this holy day On christmas morn new hope is born For peace on earth, good will to men"
