I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day - Harry Belafonte

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

As now this day had come

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rung so long

The 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
