Some Thoughts
Henry W. Longfellow ^ | 1864 | Henry W. Longfellow

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn, the households born
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.”

I know it was meant for Christmas but I can't get it out of my head today. Who has others?

Come Lord Jesus!
