I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Songtext
von Bing Crosby

(Ringing bells, Christmas day)
Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wide and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men (good will to men)


I thought as now this day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rung so long, the unbroken song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
(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 morks the song
Of peace on Earth, good will to me (good will 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, good will to men
