about

On Christmas day, 1863, Longfellow penned his famous poem "Christmas Bells". I have taken those words, adding a few of my own, and set them to music. Enjoy!

lyrics

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 the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And the angels sang of one who came
A song that thunders strong and clear
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."

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!

And the angels sang of one who came That saves us from our sinfulness, With peace on earth and good will to men
