I heard the bells on Christmas Day,
Their ancient song, they seemed to say:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,"
A promise given once again.
But in this world so torn apart,
Where is the light to heal the heart?
I bow my head and ask for grace,
For hope to shine in this broken place.
Still the bells ring out with love,
A melody from Heaven above.
Though shadows fall and fear draws near,
Your peace will reign, and calm our fear.
Emmanuel, You’ve come to stay,
I hear the bells on Christmas Day.
And in despair, I bowed my head,
"Where is Your peace?" I softly said.
Yet through the noise, a voice so clear,
"Be still, My child, for I am here."
And then I felt Your hand so near,
A love that casts away all fear.
The bells of Heaven softly ring,
And now I know my heart can sing.
Still the bells ring out with love,
A melody from Heaven above.
Though shadows fall and fear draws near,
Your peace will reign, and calm our fear.
Emmanuel, You’ve come to stay,
I hear the bells on Christmas Day.
Oh, the world may shake, but Your truth remains,
Your light breaks through the darkest chains.
A King is born, our hope, our joy,
The bells resound with Heaven's voice!
Still the bells ring out with love,
A melody from Heaven above.
Though shadows fall and fear draws near,
Your peace will reign, and calm our fear.
Emmanuel, You’ve come to stay,
I hear the bells on Christmas Day.
Still the bells ring out with love,
A melody from Heaven above.
Though shadows fall and fear draws near,
Your peace will reign, and calm our fear.
Emmanuel, You’ve come to stay,
I hear the bells on Christmas Day.
