I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I heard the (Faug)bells on (Bb)Christmas (C7)day,

their (Dm)old (Bm7)(F)familiar (E7)carols (Am)play;

and (Gm)mild and (C7)sweet the (Am7)words (D7)repeat:

of (Gm)peace (D7)on (Gm)earth, (D7)good (Dm6)will to (C7)men.

I (F)thought, as (Faug)now this (Bb)day had (C7)come,

the (Dm)belfries (Bm7)of (F)all (E7)(Am)Christendom had (Gm)rung so (C7)long the (Am7)unbroken (D7)song of (Gm)peace (D7)on (Gm)earth,

(Bm7)good (Gm7)will (C7)to (F)(Bbmaj7)men.

(F)And in (Faug)despair I (Bb)bowed my (C7)head,

"There (Dm)is no (Bm7)peace (F)on (E7)earth,"

I (Am)said.

"For (Gm)hate is (C7)strong and (Am7)mocks the (D7)song of (Gm)peace (D7)on (Gm)earth,

(D7)good (Dm6)will to (C7)men."

Then (F)pealed the (Faug)bells more (Bb)loud and (C7)deep,

"God (Dm)is not (Bm7)dead, (F)nor (E7)doth He (Am)sleep.

The (Gm)wrong shall (C7)fail, the un (Am7)right (D7)prevail,

with (Gm)peace (D7)on (Gm)earth, (Bm7)good (Gm7)will (C7)to (F)men.

(Gm)peace (D7)on (Gm)earth, (Bm7)good (Gm7)will (C7)to (F)men."
