Move respond box to the top of comments

I have copied the comments.php to my child theme.

How do I move the comments respond box to the top of the comments so that when they click from the comment links below each post on the home page they directly go to the comments form to write a new comment?

Copying the below code to the top in comments.php does not show the comments at all.

<?php endif;
comment_form();
?>

Please help. Thanks.
