Chance Summer - I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day Dance Redux Lyrics

The wrong shall fail
The right prevail
With peace on earth

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
The soldiers stopped to listen
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth
Good will to men
If only it were true

And thought how as the day had come
The Christian bell towers rang out
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

The wrong shall fail
The right prevail
With peace on earth

Till ringing singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice a chime
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

Then from each accursed weapon
The cannon thundered in the South
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

Of peace on earth

The wrong shall fail
The right prevail
With peace on earth

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth stones of a continent
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth goodwill 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 goodwill 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 goodwill to men

The wrong shall fail
The right prevail
With peace on earth
