-::::''1.''
-:I heard the bells on Christmas day
-:Their old familiar carols play,
-:And wild and sweet the words repeat
-:Of peace on earth, good will to men.
-::::''2.''
-:And thought how, as the day had come,
-:The belfries of all Christendom
-:Had rolled along the unbroken song
-:Of peace on earth, good will to men.
-::::''3.''
-:Till 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.
-::::''4.''
-:Then from each black, accursed mouth
-:The cannon thundered in the South,
-:And with the sound the carols drowned
-:Of peace on earth, good will to men.
-::::''5.''
-:It was as if an earthquake rent
-:The hearth-stones of a continent,
-:And made forlorn, the households born
-:Of peace on earth, good will to men.
-::::''6.''
-: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.”
-::::''6.''
-: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.”
