I love hearing the stories behind the songs/poems - and I have always loved this song because I also get a great sense of the victory to come that God is not dead or sleeping; the wrong SHALL FAIL and the right PREVAIL when Christ returns! 31 years ago I sang this song, ever verse, with my then 2 year old daughter Lorikate who stopped me abruptly and most seriously said, "Mommy, we don't peel bells ONLY oranges!"
Christmas 2014 I will be singing I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth. I'm honored to be performing this historical and inspirational song. Merry Christmas Everybody!
One of my fav songs. Not just Xmas

The most powerful prose. Especially in these horrific times.
Thank you for this wonderful piece of history. It is such a lovely carol.
