For treble voices in three parts (SSA) a cappella. Text by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. English.

Longfellow wrote the text, entitled “Christmas Bells,” in 1863. During that Christmas season, the poet's son was critically wounded in a war, and the text expresses his father's anguish over war and his longing for peace on earth. The message is as timely today as it was over 125 years ago.
