   C                 G7   
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day   
C                  Dm      G7   
Their old familiar carols play   
C                      E     Am 
And wild and sweet the words repeat 
C                       G7      C   
Of peace on earth, good will to men 
C                     G7   
I thought how, as the Day had come   
C                   Dm       G7   
The bel fries of all Christ end om 
C                      E      Am 
Had roll eda long the unbroken song 
C                       G7      C   
Of peace on earth, good will to men 
C                G7   
And in despair I bo wed my head 
C                     Dm        G7   
"There is no peace on earth," I said 
C                       E         Am 
"For hate is strong and mocks the song 
C                       G7      C     
Of peace on earth, good will to men"   
C                          G7   
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep 
C                     Dm      G7   
"God is not dead, nordoth he sleep 
C                         E     Am 
The wrongs hall fail, the right prevail 
C                         G7      C   
With peace on earth, good will to men"
