Bells over Belfast - The Irish Rovers

Well the antrum hills that are dark and still and the snow is tumblin' down

This Christmas time there’s hope again for all in Belfast Town

With love and understanding we’ll find a better way

The gift of peace is ours now upon this Christmas day

Bells over Belfast

How merrily they play

Peace and joy be with you

On this Christmas day

Well the star of light, it filled the night, many years ago

When the Magi found the blessed Child who set our hearts aglow

And since that day of wonder will live forever more

We hail the newborn King of kings who opened the heavens' door

Bells over Belfast

How merrily they play

Peace and joy be with you

On this Christmas day

It’s a rocky road that leads to peace and a road that’s hard to find

And them that never look for it, they’re deaf and dumb and blind

People have their customs, religion and their laws

But we can stand together now, united in one cause

Bells over Belfast

How merrily they play

Peace and joy be with you

On this Christmas day

We’ll dance and sing the new year in a share a cup of cheer

And drink to health and happiness throughout the coming year

We’ll put our differences aside, our troubles all behind

And take a cup of kindness yet for days of auld lang syne

Bells over Belfast

How merrily they play

Peace and joy be with you

On this Christmas day

Bells over Belfast

How merrily they play

Peace and joy be with you

On this Christmas day

Spoken:

Peace, please
