Lyrics

Dona nobis pacem, pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem, pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem, pacem Dona nobis pacem I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men Dona nobis pacem, pacem Dona nobis pacem I thought how, as the day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men Then in despair I bowed my head "There is no peace on earth", I said "For hate is strong and it mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep "God is not dead, He does not sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men" Dona nobis pacem, pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem
