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

And thought how as
The day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on Earth good will to men

Refrain

I can hear them I can hear them
I can hear them I can hear them

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

Pont

Then pealed the bells
More loud and deep
God is not dead nor does He sleep
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on Earth good will to men

Refrain

I can hear you I can hear you
I can hear you I can hear you

Tag

I can hear you

Refrain modifié

I could still hear You
I can hear you
I can hear you now

Refrain modifié

I can hear you now
I can hear you now
