2. And 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.
   3. 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.
   4. 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."
   5. Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
      "God is not dead, nor does He sleep;
      The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
      With peace on earth, good will to men."
