I  heard  the bells on Christmas  Day

      Em7           A
Their old familiar carols  play

     F#                Bm     A     G
And wild and sweet the words  re - peat

    Em7               A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men

[Verse 3]
    Bm           G
And in despair I bowed my head

       Em7              A
There  is  no peace on earth I said

    F#                 Bm       
For hate is strong and mocks the song

   Em7                A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men (to men, to men!)
[Verse 4]
      D                     G
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep

     D                 A
God  is  not dead nor does He sleep

     F#                  Bm     A     G
The wrong shall fail the right pre - vail

   Em7                A       D/G
Of peace on earth goodwill to men
[Chorus 2]
      D          A
I can hear Your voice

      Bm           A/C#
I can hear Your voi - ce

         D          A                       
Like the bells on Christmas (Day)

I can hear Your voice

I can hear Your voi - ce
