I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day (Dona Nobis Pacem)

Dona Nobis Pacem Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem



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



Dona Nobis Pacem Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem



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



And in despair I bowed my head

'There is no peace on Earth' I said

For hate is strong and it mocks the song

Of peace on Earth, good will to men



Then pealed the bells more loud and deep

God is not dead nor does He sleep

The wrong shall fail, the right prevails

With peace on Earth, good will to men



Dona Nobis Pacem Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem
