Couplet 1

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

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

Come ye sinners come ye saints
Find your rest in manger laid
Son of God is born this day
Hail the power of Jesus' name

Couplet 3

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

Couplet 4

Then feel 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

Refrain

Come ye sinners come ye saints
Find your rest in manger laid
Son of God is born this day
Hail the power of Jesus' name
