I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
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
So peal the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, or fast asleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to all
Till ringing, singing, on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to all
Peace on earth, good will to all
Peace on earth, good will to all

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the lamb of God appear
O come, thou Dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the darkened clouds of night
And all death's shadows put to flight
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, desire of nations bind
All people in one heart and mind
Bid thou our sad divisions cease
And be thyself our Prince of Peace
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

The season swells with Noel
Lights are shining, yuletide dawning
Here I am alone
Looking past gold and glass
A future lost, cold as the frost
Oh where is home?
Carols ring, choirs sing
Candles burning, memories swirling
All around me
Here I stand with open hands
I’m drawing near and I hear
Echoes of joy
In this night of silence
My broken past is left behind
Dreams are born from ashes
So beautiful as they rise
Tears flow, walking through the snow
I can’t see the path before me
But hope still burns
A velvet sky, arching high
Warmed by starlight, all is bright
And love returns
In this night of silence
The light of heaven shines
Peace, be still, I’m not alone
I’m filled by grace divine
