When Jesus
Christ our Lord was born,
The angels
welcomed that happy morn;
The world
was weary, the world was sad,
So down came
Jesus to make us glad;
And all the
bells on earth did ring,
And all the
angels in heaven sing:
‘Peace on
earth, goodwill towards men’.
Two thousand
years have come and gone,
Since the
star of Bethlehem brightly shone;
And now
again the world is torn
With war and
hunger and fear and scorn;
There's
fighting while the bells do ring,
There's
hating while the angels sing;
Not much
peace or goodwill towards men.
It may not
be in a stable bare,
There won't
be wise men and shepherds there;
But when
Lord Jesus is born again,
Oh, may it
be in the hearts of men;
And all the
bells on earth will ring,
And all the
angels in heaven sing,
For Christ
our Lord will really bring
Peace on
earth, goodwill towards men.
