I heard the bells on Christmas day

<p>I heard the bells on Christmas Day<br/>Their old familiar carols play<br/>And loud and sweet the words repeat<br/>Of peace on earth, good will to men<br/><br/>I thought how as the day had come<br/>The belfries of a Christendom<br/>Had rolled along the unbroken song<br/>Of peace on earth, good will to men<br/><br/>Then in despair I bowed my head<br/>&quot;There is no peace on earth,&quot; I said<br/>&quot;For hate is strong and it mocks the song<br/>Of peace on earth, good will to men.&quot;<br/><br/>Then peeled the bells more loud and deep<br/>God is not dead nor does He sleep<br/>The wrong shall fail, the right prevail<br/>With peace on earth, good will to men
