I Heard The Bells Lyrics - The Irish Tenors Christmas - The Irish Tenors

I heard the bells on Christmas day 

Their old familiar carols play 

And mild 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 roll'd along th' unbroken song 

Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

And in despair I bow'd 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 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.
