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]

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

"There is no peace on earth," I said
Gm C Fmaj7 Fm

Of peace on earth, good will to men

C G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

With peace on earth, good will to men
