C C(add11)

I heard the bells on Christmas Day,

C Am Dm G

Their old familiar carols play,

C Em Am

And wild and sweet, the words repeat,

C G C

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

C C(add11)

And thought how, as the day had come,

C Am Dm G

The belfries of all Christendom

C Em Am

Had rolled along, the unbroken song,

C G C

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

C C(add11)

Til ringing, singing on its way,

C Am Dm G

The world revolved from night to day,

C Em Am

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,

C G C

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

C C(add11)

And in despair I bowed my head;

C Am Dm G

There is no peace on earth, I said;

C Em Am

For hate is strong and mocks the song

C G C

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

C C(add11)

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;

C Am Dm G

God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

C Em Am

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,

C G C

With peace on earth, good will to men.
