It comes every year and will go on forever. And along with Christmas belong the keepsakes and the customs. Those humble, everyday things a mother clings to, and ponders, like Mary in the secret spaces of her heart." ~ Marjorie Holmes, American writer ~ Composed by Henry W. Longfellow, 1864 Lyrics listed in Public Domain
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day Lyrics To ~Sing A Long~
Joy to the world The Lord is come Let earth receive her King I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar Carols play And wide and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth good will to man I thought as now this day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rung so long the unbroken song Of peace on earth good will to man And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth I said For hate is strong and marks the song Of peace on earth good will to man 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 man With peace on earth good will to man Bing Crosby May 3, 1903 - October 14, 1977
