“Glory to God, peace upon earth,
And good will unto men,” so say vSFm
The solemn Christmas-bells today—
Ah, ne’er so sweet, so mellow was their ringing,
O’er land and sea the spell of music flinging—
As, to and fro high in the belfries swinging,
To all the world they speak again
Os Christ, and of His blessed birth,
Wgp When first the angels in the heavens were singing:
“Glory to God, peace and good will to men.” 35%

qSL “Peace do you say? There is no peace;
nSy Oh, if it were but true, dear bells, jgy
The story your sweet music tells! ISE
Two thousand years it fell on ears unheeding; >r?'
fFrom countless wounds of war earth yet is bleeding,
Hate’s spear drips blood; despite Love’s piteous pleading, MESI
Still nations face in armed array ygij
The future, on this Christmas-day;
0, bells! let your sad music cease,
Your words, your music’s story are misleading.”

But louder, more triumphant, chime JJw
The bells that ring this Christmas-day, JET
And with prophetic tongue they say: fBl
tSjL “Our words are true, God’s love and wisdom framed them,
The world with evil deeds has oft defamed them,
With tears and blood and sacrilege has shamed them,
jfgZ But God has willed the world shall yet acclaim them,
His patience waits; in His own time lira
All men shall sing the words sublime,
And them, as God’s angels first proclaimed them.”
