Christmas Bells

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Church Militant & Trumphant First Line: I heard the bells on Christmas day 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 Till, 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. Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: for God will undertake to guide the future as he has the past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know his voice who ruled them while he lived below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart and all is darkened in the vale of tears, then you shall better know his love, his heart, who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears. Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay from his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love’s pure joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
