The Rebel Black Dot Song of Saint Stephen's Day
Mu330, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas" from Winter Wonderland! (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Words by Longfellow, from his poem "Christmas Bells."

"And in despair I bowed my head,
'There is no peace on Earth!' I said,
'The hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men."
And pealed the bells more loud and deep:
'God is not dead not doth He sleep!
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on Earth, good will to men.'"

Excerpts of the poem, not, alas, the Mu330 song, were read aloud by Father Steve at the end of today's five o'clock Mass, which I attended because I slept-in too late to make the eleven o'clock.
