Hello friend, Hope “Bells on Christmas Day”
Here is an old familiar carol
written during the civil war, which must had been a turbulent time very similar
to the present. A strong message of hope you might find helpful. Pay attention
to the words as you sing or read it.
Shalom, Jim
1. I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play 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!
