C F G
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
F C G
Their old familiar carols play
C F G
And wild and sweet the words repeat
F G Em F
Of peace on earth, Peace on earth,
G C
good-will to men!
[Verse 2]
C F G
And thought how, as the day had come
F C G
The belfries of all Christen-dom
C F G
Had rolled along the unbroken song
F G Em F
Of peace on earth, peace on earth,
G C
good-will to men!
[Verse 3]
C F G
And in despair I bowed my head
F C G
"There is no peace on earth, " I said
C F G
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
F G C Em F
Of peace on earth, peace on earth,
G C
good-will to men!"
[Verse 4]
C F G
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
F C G
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
C F G
The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail
F7 Gsus4 E F
With peace on earth, peace on earth,
G C
good-will to men
