Steven Curtis Chapman

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

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 roll'd along th' unbroken song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till ringing, singing on its way

The world revolved from night to day,

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

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.

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Yeah yeah

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.

Peace on earth, good will to men.

Peace on earth, good will to men.

Good will to men.

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Peace on earth, good will to men.
