[ Featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama ]
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
In music sweet the tones repeat,
There's 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.
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.
When men repent and turn from sin
The Prince of Peace then enters in,
And grace imparts within their hearts
His peace on earth.
Then happy, singing on your way,
Your world will change from night today
Your heart will feel the message real,
Good will to men.
