The only lasting peace we have is knowing Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

I am watching the movie now, the scene of his wife's death is very sad. It is too bad they did not know about " Stop, drop, and roll back then if you catch on fire. I never heard the carol before, very pretty.

Charles Longfellow was wounded during the Mine Run Campaign near a small Virginia settlement named New Hope Church. This happened in November 1863. This is not to be confused with the better known Battle of New Hope Church which took place in Georgia in May 1864.

This setting is *good*, but to me it feels a little... overwrought. I honestly prefer "Waltham", "Herongate", or even Johnny Marks's tune (as performed by Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, and Frank Sinatra, among many others).

Growing up , my Dad would always raise a toast to some German guy on Christmas Eve , and then had to wipe a tear away . Eventually , curiosity caused me to ask who this fellow was . He told me , during the Battle of the Bulge , he had killed a German soldier on Christmas Eve and going through his uniform , had discovered his name , age , some photographs etc , and broke down and wept and promised this soldier he would always remember the tragic circumstances that led him in taking his life . Every Christmas , he upheld that promise and that honor has passed on to me . Over 70 years ago , and my family still remembers that young 18 year old German soldier that died for his country so far away from his home . Will we ever find a time when ‘ war ‘ isn’t in our vocabulary ? God help us .

What was the young German soldier's name? My wife's Grandfather on her Mother's side was in a Sherman tank crew in the Battle Of The Bulge. He would not talk at all about it. He brought home emotional scars that affected the rest of his life and the lives of his family members. He was unable to be close to any of them after his experiences in the war.

I love that line, but I don't like the music @1:02. The departure from the original tune is so distracting & I love the familiar melody rather than this completely different melody! The line you quote here is in the song. It's not specific to this version! This new tune detracts from the power of the original.

Yes. She was standing near the fire stirring the pot that had been cooking over the open flame, which at that time, was in an open fireplace inside the home. As I recall, she got too close to the flame and her dress caught fire. Her husband tried to put it out quickly, but her burns were too severe, and pass away. Unfortunately, the dresses of that era were as such that they too easily caught fire on too many women.

It is not "peace on earth, good will to men" but rather, "peace on earth, to men of good will." The difference could not be more important. Those who wish or do evil are men but there can never be peace with them or for them. Thus, the passage clearly means there will be peace only to those of good will.
