"I Heard the Bells" is the most perfect song for this Christmas. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote this poem as a widowed father of six children after learning that his eldest son had just been severely wounded fighting in the civil war. The words paint a beautiful picture of the despair he was feeling, but also the hope he maintained despite his circumstances.
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!

►LYRICS - I Heard the Bells
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
Of peace on earth, good will
Then from each black accursed mouth
The cannons thundered in the south
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to men
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearthstones of our continent
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will
Then in despair I hung my head
There is no peace on earth, I said
For hate is strong
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail
And 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
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Of peace on earth, good will to men
