A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT! Christmas Bells
| 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,
And thought how, as the day had come
The befries of all Christendom
now roll along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men,
Till ringing, singing. on its way,
The world revoved from night to day,
A voice. chime
A chant sublime,
OF peace on earth, good will to men,"
But in despair bowed my head,
There is no peace on EARTH | said;
For hate is strong
And mocks the song
OF peace earth, good will to men,
Then peaed the bells, NOR cloud and deep;
God is not dead; nor doth He sleepp'
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men,
