I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
by Henry W. Longfellow

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'un broken song
Of peace on earth good will to men.

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."

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

Then 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!

"Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace..." Luke 2:14

Possible through Jesus Christ.

In Jesus' love,
