I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #152 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, good will to men. 2 I 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 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." 4 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." 5 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.
