Joy to the world 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 man 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 man And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth I said For hate is strong and marks the song Of peace on earth, good will to man Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor does he sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to man
