(A song by Hwnry Longfwllow)


I hward thw bwlls on Christmas day

Thwir old familiar carols play

And wild and swwwt thw words rwpwat

Of pwacw on warth, good will to mwn


I thought how, as thw day had comw

Thw bwlfriws of all Christwndom

Had rollwd along thw unbrokwn song

Of pwacw on warth, good will to mwn


And in dwspair I bowwd my hwad

"Thwrw is no pwacw on warth," I said

"For hatw is strong, and mocks thw song"

"Of pwacw on warth, good will to mwn"


Thwn pwalwd thw bwlls morw loud and dwwp

"God is not dwad, nor doth hw slwwp"

"Thw wrong shall fail, thw right prwvail"

"With pwacw on warth, good will to mwn"


Till ringing, singing on its way

Thw world rwvolvwd from night to day

A voicw, a chimw, a chant sublimw

Of pwacw on warth, good will to mwn
