Anaïs Mitchell - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Lyrics




[ Featuring Thomas Bartlett ]

Oh, I heard the bells on Christmas Day
The old, familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to all!

I thought of how the day was here,
And how from belfries everywhere

Had run so long
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to all!

Peace on earth, good-will to all!
Peace on earth...

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 all!""

Peace on earth, good-will to all!
Peace on earth...

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
""God is not dead, nor does God sleep

And hate will fail,
And love prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to all.""

Peace on earth, good-will to all!
Peace on earth...
Peace on earth, good-will to all!
Peace on earth...

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
