Track Title: I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day Album Title: The Sinatra Christmas Album (Reprise) Prime Artist: Frank Sinatra Background Vocal: Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians Producer: Reginald (Sonny) Burke Written by: Longfellow Written by: Johnny D. Marks Lyrics: 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. I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th' 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 mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." 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." 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. |
