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 (peace on earth) Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth) In my heart I hear them (peace on earth) 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 (peace on earth) Like a choir singing (peace on earth) Does anybody hear them? (peace on earth) Peace on earth, good will to men Then rang the bells more loud and deep God is not dead, nor does he sleep (peace on earth, peace on earth) 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 (peace on earth) Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth) And with our hearts we'll hear them (peace on earth) Peace on earth, good will to men Do you hear the bells they're ringing? (peace on earth) The life the angels singing (peace on earth) Open up your heart and hear them (peace on earth) Peace on earth, good will to men Peace on earth, peace on earth Peace on earth, Good will to men

about

Holiday Oscar's take on the Christmas classic, ' I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day'.

Written during civil unrest in 1863, the song celebrates 'Peace on Earth and Good Will' during the festive season, before admitting...

'In despair, I bow my head. "There is no peace on Earth" I said, for hate is strong and it blocks this song, of peace on Earth and good will to all men...'.
