I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY (LOWER LIGHTS)
[Verse 1]
C G7
I heard the bells on Christmas day
C G
Their old familiar carols play
Gm C Fmaj7 Fm
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
C G C
Of peace on earth, good will to men
[Verse 2]
C G7
I thought how, as the day had come
C G
The belfries of all Christendom
Gm C Fmaj7 Fm
Had rolled along the unbroken song
C G C
Of peace on earth, good will to men
[Verse 3]
C G7
And in despair, I bowed my head
C G
"There is no peace on earth," I said
Gm C Fmaj7 Fm
For hate is strong, and mocks the song
C G C
Of peace on earth, good will to men
[Verse 4]
C G7
Then pealed the bells, more loud and deep
C G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
Gm C Fmaj7 Fm
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
C G C
With peace on earth, good will to men
