Lyrics - I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day by Frank Sinatra

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 men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all christendom
Had rolled along th’ 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, 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.
Till ringing, singing on it’s way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
