I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Lyrics

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote this beautiful song. At the top of the page, there is a video of Casting Crowns singing it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play

And mild and sweet their songs repeat

Of peace on earth good will to men

*******************************

And the bells are ringing

In my heart I hear them

Like a choir they're singing

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

*******************************

But the bells are ringing

Like a choir they're singing

Does anybody hear them?

Peace on earth, good will to men

*******************************

Then rang 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

********************************

Then 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

*******************************

And the bells they're ringing

Like a choir they're singing

And with our hearts we'll hear them

Peace on earth, good will to men

******************************

Do you hear the bells they're ringing?

The life the angels singing

Open up your heart and hear them

*******************************

Peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, Peace on earth

Peace on earth, Good will to men
