Chris Renzema - I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day Lyrics

Chris Renzema Lyrics

"I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day"

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
Wild and sweet their words repeat
"Peace of earth, good will to men"
I thought of when the day would come
When the belfries of all Christendom
Would roll along in unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Oh, 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 it 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"
Oh, peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, good will to men
Peace on earth, good will to men

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
Wild and sweet their words repeat
"Peace of earth, good will to men"
Oh, peace on earth, good will to men
Oh, peace on earth, good will to men
