8 Days Until Christmas

I wrote this a few years ago. It is certainly the work of an amateur, but it is mine.


Peace on Earth, Good will toward men
So peel the Christmas bells
Whose voice and song to hearts belong
And truth the Spirit tells

They toll the birth of Christ the King
And wake man’s deep desire
To reach within, and with his kin
Rejoice with heavn'ly choirs.

That we too could with them sing praise
And wintry souls refine
That we might show and He might know
Gratitude for gifts divine.

Let my soul sing! and with those bells
Proclaim His royal birth
And with that, then, good will toward men
And peace throughout the Earth

Wow, Aaron. I'm impressed. Since when did you become a literary savant? Seriously, though, It's good. Keep it.
