Heatherlyn - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Lyrics

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 all

'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 all

Then from each black accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South
And with the sound the carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to all

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 all""

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
Love is not dead nor doth she sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to all

I thought how whence the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to all

Peace on earth, good will to all
