Through my hast this morning, I failed to include these lyrics. This song was sung at church yesterday and it sure helped me put my life in perspective...
I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
(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.
Have a wonderful week, and may you find peace this holiday season.
