I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas (Gm)day,

(Eb)their old familiar carols (Bb)play,

(F)and mild and sweet their songs (Gm)repeat

(Eb)of peace on earth, good will to (Bb)men.

(D7)And the bells are ringing:

(Eb)(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Like a choir they're singing:

(Eb)(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Does In my heart I hear them:

(Eb)Peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my (Gm)head:

(Eb)"There is no peace on earth,"

I (Bb)said, (F)"For hate is strong and mocks the (Gm)song

(Eb)of peace on earth, good will to (Bb)men."

(D7)But the bells are ringing:

(Eb)(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Like a choir they're singing:

(Eb)(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Does anybody hear (Eb)them?

Peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my

"God is not dead, nor doth He (Gm)sleep.

(Eb)The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,

with peace on earth,

good will to men."

Then ringing, singing on its (Gm)way,

(Eb)the world revolved from night to (Bb)day.

(F)A voice, a chime, a chance (Gm)sublime

(Eb)of peace on earth, good will to (Bb)men.

(D7)And the bells, they're ringing:

(Eb)(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Like a choir they're singing:

(Eb)(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Open with our hearts we'll hear them:

(Eb)Peace on earth, good will to men.

Do you hear the bells?

They're ringing:

(Peace on (Bb)earth!)

Like the angels singing:
