I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Dona Nobis Pacem) Songtext

von Wayne Watson

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

And 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

And 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 nor does He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevails
With peace on Earth, good will to men

Dona Nobis Pacem Pacem
Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona Nobis Pacem
