Here is mine; I love it because it rings a note of hope; faith brought people through wars before, and we will make it through this one too.
I heard the bells on Christmas day their old familiar carols play, and wild and sweet the words repeat of 'Peace on earth, good will to men.'
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 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 doth He sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with 'Peace on earth, good will to men.' "
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 men.'
