I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807-1882 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #240 (1993) 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 on earth, to all good-will. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, the belfries of all Christendom had rolled along th'unbroken song of peace on earth, to all good-will. 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, to all good-will." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth God sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, to all good-will." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, the world revolved from night to day, a voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, to all good-will.

It Is a Thing Most Wonderful

Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #277 (2023) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heav'n, and die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true: He chose a poor and humble lot, and wept and toiled and mourned and died for love of those who loved Him not. 3 I cannot tell how He could love a child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful if He could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about the cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see the cruel nails and crown of thorns, and Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part of that great love which, like a fire, is always burning in His heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; but 'tis more wonderful to see my love for Him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love Thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, and I will love Thee more and more, until I see Thee as Thou art.
