Song: | I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
HENRY W. LONGFELLOW J. BAPTISTE CALKIN KEY Eb VERSE 1 1 12 1-1 12 12 -2b 2 �2b -2 I heard the bells on Christ-mas day Their 1+3 2+4 2+3 1 -3b -3b 3 Old fa-mil-iar ca - rols play, 3 3 -2b 2 -2b And wild and sweet the 2 -1 1 -1 2 -2b 3 -3b 1 1 -1 Words re-peat Of peace on earth, good will to men. VERSE 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The Belfries of all Christendom Had roll�d along thun Broken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. VERSE 3 And in despair I bow�d my head; there Is no peace on earth, I said, For hate is strong, and Mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men. VERSE 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: god Is not dead, nor doth he sleep; The wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men. VERSE 5 Till ringing, singing on its way, The World revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a Chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men. |
