I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS
Elvis Presley
Written by:
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.
I 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.
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.»
With peace on earth, good will to men.»
Merry Christmas
