  I Heard the Bells
  Music by J. Baptiste Calkin
  Lyric by Henry W. 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 all

  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 all

  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 all

  Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
  God is not dead nor does He sleep
  The wrong shall fail the right prevail
  With peace on earth good will to all

• What they’re saying

  Some say it’s the singer, not the song. Some say it’s the song, not the singer. In Steve Bell’s case, it’s impossible to choose between the angel’s voice and the angel.
