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 Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas 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.

In the Lonely Midnight

Author: Theodore Chickering Williams, 1855-1915 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #242 (1993) Meter: 6.5.5.6.5 D Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas Lyrics: 1 In the lonely midnight on the wintry hill, shepherds heard the angels singing, "Peace, good will." Listen, O ye weary, to the angels’ song, unto to you the tidings of great joy belong. 2 Though in David’s city angels sing no more, love makes angel music on earth’s darkest shore. Though no heavenly glory meet your wondering eyes, love can make your dwelling bright as paradise. 3 Though the child of Mary, heralded on high, in his manger cradle may no longer lie, love will reign forever, though the proud world scorn; if you truly seek peace, Christ for you is born.
