I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day (Album Version)

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day - Burl Ives

I heard the bells on Christmas Day

Their old familiar carols play

And wild and sweet the wordsrepeat

Of peace on earth goodwill to men

I thought how as the day had come

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled so along unbroken song

Of peace on earth goodwill 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 goodwill to men

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep

God is not dead nor doubt he sleeps

The wrong shall fail the right prevail

With peace on earth goodwill to men

Goodwill to men
