On Christmas Day in 1863 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem, called I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day. The American Civil War was in full force and his son had been injured in the Battle of New Hope Church. In these desperate times he described his despair yet didn't lose hope. It has since been used for lyrics in songs beginning in 1872, as the words still ring true today.
