[Vision2020] I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

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 th'unbroken song 
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.
