I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day.
Words by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Music by Jean Baptiste Calkin (original version).
New words and music by Bernie Herms, Mark Hall and Dale Oliver. Arranged and orchestrated by Dave Williamson.
This song/poem should resound around the world! Written by America's Poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the depth of the American Civil War, December 1863, it remains a tribute to Christ's vision for mankind! Come quickly, Lord, we need you now more than ever! COME QUICKLY!!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 🙏
It's amazing how this song, written during a challenging time in history, continues to inspire and uplift people around the world.
I don't know if you guys will see this but AMAZING!! I go to High school and the choir teacher asked me to play drums to this song and when I heard my heart broke and I coulden't help but shed some tears. Thanks for doing this. God Bless you all!
Thank you! We also loved this arrangement the first time we heard it, and so were happy to be able to perform it. It's beautifully written music! God bless you.
With all due credit to the CASTING CROWNS for their fantastic arrangement, the Slavic Chorale's version is the definitive one for me, and I'm sure many others.
It's the voice of angels... and if HOLLYWOOD was to do another American Civil War movie or any war movie, let alone a biopic of author Henry Wadsworth Longfellow... this is the exact recording I would use in the final scene. It has genuine feeling and humanity in it to the highest degree.
Unfortunately, there has never been a single song, a poem, a hymn or a prayer that has brought about an end to war and suffering... as those responsible for such evil have no soul.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Blessings to you.
I came to listen to this song because I just saw the trailer for the new film "I Heard the Bells" about Longfellow! Coming out this Christmas! ruclips.net/video/DKRc3BykJvg/видео.html
A biopic on Longfellow came out a couple years ago.
Ran across this by accident....
What a treasure! Gave me goose bumps.
Peace on 🌍 earth and good will to men.
The Bells are ringing 2019
Amen! Peace in God alone.
Lyrics ...
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Of peace on earth good will to men
And the bells are ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth)
In my heart I hear them (peace on earth)
Peace on earth, good will to men
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 men
But the bells are ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir singing (peace on earth)
Does anybody hear them? (peace on earth)
Peace on earth, good will to men
Then rang the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor does he sleep (peace on earth, peace on earth)
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men
Then 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 men
And the bells they're ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir they're singing (peace on earth)
And with our hearts we'll hear them (peace on earth)
Peace on earth, good will to men
Do you hear the bells they're ringing? (peace on earth)
The life the angels singing (peace on earth)
Open up your heart and hear them (peace on earth)
Peace on earth, good will to men
Peace on earth, peace on earth
Peace on earth, Good will to men
I have been searching for sometime to find a choir singing this music. I sang it in choir several years ago, Bass, and just loved it in our Christmas Program and you sang it perfectly. It is a very emotional piece of music, especially if you know the story of Longfellow behind it. "There is no peace on earth" seems to still hold true, even more so today. I do have a recording we used to practice this piece on CD and I still will listen to it from time to time. Thank you for this.
One of our favorites too!
lol, I'm speechless.. Amazing
Thank you 🙏
This is absolutely beautiful! I had never even heard this song until December 2022, and now I am looking online for various performances of this heart-stirring song. Congratulations on this incredible performance, here for all to enjoy for many years to come!
Thank you! Blessings!
This version is originally done by Casting Crowns.
Hearing this song for the first time today and so far in 20 mins listened like 3 times
It does have a powerful message. Blessings to you!
Listen to the casting crowns version
@@estherine200 , I love them both!
This is the most hauntingly beautiful music that I have ever heard. The arrangement, choir and production is simply wonderful. This song will remain with me for a long, long time. Well done!
Thank you! Blessings to you!
Gorgeous sound and heartfelt performance. Thank you. ❤
Thanks for listening!
I was in Choir in middle school 3 to 4 years ago (I don’t remember) and we sang this song and I don’t know why I suddenly remember it lol
Love it!
At Mikado, we played this with little kids... it was kinda like the kids choir mixed in with the adult choir. It was so beautiful.
It’s our favorite arrangement of this song!
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play;
In music sweet the tones repeat,
“There’s peace on earth, good will to men.”
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th’ unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
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 men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor does He sleep,
For Christ is here; His Spirit near
Brings peace on earth, good will to men.”
When men repent and turn from sin
The Prince of Peace then enters in,
And grace imparts within their hearts
His peace on earth, good will to men.
O souls amid earth’s busy strife,
The Word of God is light and life;
Oh, hear His voice, make Him your choice,
Hail peace on earth, good will to men.
Then happy, singing on your way,
Your world will change from night to day;
Your heart will feel the message real,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Please consider a percussion-free version for those of us with (dead) roots in rock and roll. Let the pealing bells be heard!
Thanks for your comment and suggestion. While we weren't performing our own arrangement, a percussion-free version with pealing bells could be a great idea for someone to explore in the future!
Keep enjoying the music! ☺️🎶
i’m so glad our choir is doing this i got asked to play the chimes it’s so fun
Nice!
Gorgeous!! Thank GOD!!
Thank you! Amen!
My time in Iraq was only as good as we could make it. This rendition, year after year makes me tear up, because I know how ugly the world is. Yet, you sing inspiration and hope. I must ask, why isnt your gorgeous rendition on iTunes?
Thank you for your service, for your kind words and blessings to you! 🙏
We will work on adding it to Apple Music !
I’ve got the Casting Crowns Peace on Earth album. It’s great. This is a great arrangement! Very moving.
Thank you! 🙏
The Casting Crowns version is untouchable, but this is beautiful
Thank you! 🙏
I am an ultra-traditionalist and usually listen only to original versions, but this version is the best I have ever heard. Perfect!
Thank you. Blessings!
This is a beautiful version of this song! It is quickly becoming one of my very favorite Christmas songs!
Glad to hear it! Casting Crowns wrote a great melody, we love it too. Blessings!
Moving!

It's such an honor to have Mr. Kravchuk leading our choir. Singing together in his choir is an incredible experience. We totally agree that Pavel Kravchuk is an exceptional teacher and a true professional. Our choir feels blessed to have him as our director and conductor!

Here it is two years later and this song seems to reflect the challenges of our present time with all the discourse in our world where we all really need prayer to get us through these tough time.

Well done folks. This is one of those songs that I will hear in my mind for a long time after this video ends, probably for days and your choir did this so well. Choir and orchestra, outstanding. Take care and God bless you all from a new subscriber.

I had never heard this arrangement before -- I'm used to the traditional carol tune -- but this fits Longfellow's poem quite well, Thank you for sharing this performance. Very special!
+Gail Williams Thank you! Credit to Casting Crowns - this is based on their arrangement. We loved it too!
I found the live Casting Crowns version, but I prefer the choral arrangement. This captures the tension between what is, and what is promised.
+Gail Williams There is something special about choral music!
Wow!! Soooo beautiful! Would love to get the music for this!
