i heard the bells on christmas day - bette midler lyrics

Loading...

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!

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!

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!

then from each black, accursed mouth
the cannon thundered in the south
and with the sound thе carols drowned
of peace on еarth, good*will to men!

it was as if an earthquake rent
the hearth*stones of a continent
and made forlorn the households born
of 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!”
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”
