[Corni378]

I looked at my top 25 most played year round list in my iPod....and this was #2 =D

Love this song soo much! I smile every time I hear it.

[RogerWV]

...always such a blessing at this time of year - AND ALWAYS! "Henry W. Longfellow penned the words to "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" Dec. 25th, 1864. Our country involved in a deadly Civil War, this reflected the despair - which included the death of his wife that summer. He had also received word that his oldest son, a lieutenant in the Army, had been wounded - no idea. He sat alone on Christmas day ...and he heard - the church bells ring... penned the words - “for PEACE on EARTH.”

[microguyprod]

almost christmas!

[RogerWV]

What an inspiration - one of perseverance – no matter the religion, race, nationality, or background, THIS message is for all - PEACE ON EARTH!

[hauptmanndurst71]

@JackHartOfficial When Christ returns, it won't matter if our society believes him or not. As the song says "God is not dead nor doth he sleep, the wrong shall fail, the right prevail". That is the return of Christ, the only one who can bring peace on earth. This song is especially touching if you read the history and the circumstances under which Longfellow penned the words in 1864.

[JRBCNNY]

@hauptmanndurst71 Christ never left.

[sistersrbomb143]

Just speechless(: THIS IS AWESOME XD AMEN

[sistersrbomb143]

Omg the youth group at my church did this song

It was beautiful (:

[mrleggsdiamond]

@sistersrbomb143 there is a dude at my church who sang this song the choir did it with him it was awesome i know,i love this song

[anneke744]

we had to sing this yesterday for a carols consert in a really small place tecanally every body cryed

it reminds me of when my dad told me the story of his dad dieing in hospital from cancer he dies wile he was with heaps of people heaven is probly peaceful </3

[WoodOwl59]

beautiful..speechless...amen & amen...my crown is cast also

[shalomleka]

AMEN AMEN AMEN

[toshiromaru22]

i think this is the only good christian song ive heard.... reminds me of my great grandma...

[tcaimi]

Love

[BassoonTalk]

13 people didn't hear the bells....

[Krexv]

Today was our school christmas concert, and a guy in my class sang it. We were the background singers singing background.

[PrinceRavensword]

my prayer is that there will be not only peace on earth, i pray that there will be shalom on earth. the world needs shalom now more than ever. when God came to earth as an infant, he came so that we may have shalom. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of shalom. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace [shalom] to those on whom His favor rests. Luke 2:14

[SamuelChung94]

@PrinceRavensword there is more peace now! Rejoice!! the Iraq war between the Iraqi people and the Americans is over! (Y)

[PrinceRavensword]

@SamuelChung94 the "war" in Iraq being over is a flat out lie. that's what the gov. controlled media wants people to think. i am gonna be so glad when Jesus Christ returns, because when He does He aint gonna be too happy w/ some people. only when Christ returns can there be true peace on earth.

[JackHartOfficial]

@PrinceRavensword If Christ returned, nobody would believe him, that's just the society we live in! This song is great though!

[JRBCNNY]

@JackHartOfficial Christ is still here.

[JRBCNNY]

@PrinceRavensword You kidding me?



[PrinceRavensword]

@JRBCNNY does it look like i'm kiddin'?

[JRBCNNY]

@SamuelChung94 Are you serious?

[SamuelChung94]

@JRBCNNY at least there is less war now?

[AmsterdamPancake]

I dont believe in God, but this is just an amazing song. a perfect example how beutyfull a standard pop chord shedule can sound

[b1foschiefs]

@AmsterdamPancake God has given these musicians their gifts, to return to Him in praise. "In Him we live, and move and have our very being,"And so He commands us to repent. "He has fixed a day where He will judge the world based on the righteousness of a man He has appointed, of this He has given us assurance by raising Him from the dead." 

[rygarnett]

Thank you lord for sending our SAVIOR Christ Jesus!

[Goodheartt2]

This song is inspiring comforting well it is a song actually provides peace

[littlelilisayuri]

brings me to tears every time....so beautiful....

[supernaut180]

sadly i am one of the few peeps who has no desire to listen to any type of christmas song... but this song is awesome! casting crowns is a great band!

[12capitan]

where can i get the notes for piano for this song?

[NewNuma]

Powerful and Beautiful -- thank you for this.

[cavemanl06]

I herd These guy's at church and love them <3 good job, and Bless you

[jakemaster1212]

Peace On Earth :) <3

[DrDevereaux]

Great song! One of my favorite Christmas songs! :)

[brighteyes23402003]

This is my favorite Christmas song of all time. Man it just touches me.

[Adamguy2003]

One of my all- time favorite Christmas songs. Tonight, I'll be giving a sermon about it for the kids in my church's youth program, could you guys please pray for me about it?

[JBD612]

these words are often what so many of us feel when disappointed in this life, but praise God there is MORE than the hope found in this world that keeps us going. Our Hope is in Christ alone! Thank you for sharing this beautiful, timeless message.

[KayElayempea]

Nice arrangement, I wish that they had done the whole poem/song because I really like the whole thing!

[killiam300]

this song came from henry wadsworth pomes.

[GTFrensy]

Wow...this song gives me the shivers, but in a good way :)

[poisionblood2]

thumbs up if you think this is the best Christmas song EVER!!!!!

[ACEKidsVideos]

2:11 - WAS THAT THE PEANUTS!?!?!?!?

[joshua59771]

This the best version of this song! Absolutely incredible!

[biohazard868]

easily my favorite gospel song:)

[TayTayBonaynay5]

beautiful song :)

[Londonaussie06]

I love this song! The words carry so much hope.

[austintex117]

Nicest song that is played. Its easy on the ears. :)

[bridgeebee22]

ahhhhhh my choirs are doing this song all together and it's gonna be BEAUTIFULLLL!!! such a fantastic songgg

[oreocookiebear]

This is one great song. I think it should be sung all year because it tells the story of our Lord. Love it and love to hear Casting Crowns too.

[susanromdaphnechalen]

THIS ONGH IS BEYOND AMAZING!!!! MAKES ME WANT TO CRY

[morning1500]

@susanromdaphnechalen

I work for a Christian radio station, and they played this as I was driving to work this morning. I was very definitely in tears! First time I ever heard the song!

[BrotherAtticus]

Hurrah!

[trumpet2425]

This comes very close to being my favorite Christmas song! I think that the words and music in this arrangement so perfectly match the meaning of the song. I love the part where the words say, "then rang the bells more loud and deep, GOD IS NOT DEAD NOR DOTH HE SLEEP!" Everyone have a blessed Christmas season!

[Jamersonde]

Makes me think of the troops overseas as this time of year continues. God Bless Our Troops as they fight for our freedom & the right to celebrate this blessed holiday!!!! This includes a friend of mine that's in the Marines about to be redeployed as of the time of this post: 8:39PM Est. on 11/27/11. Praying for his safety as well. :)

[began1421]

Absolutely beautiful.

[LordFhalkyn]

Merry Christmas, some weeks too early.

[1ChristianSister]

Doesn't matter what time of year.....this song is AWESOME!!!

[thallious9876]

@1ChristianSister OOOH MY GOASH!! YOU FEEL ME : )

[marcosbadra]

I like this music!!!!!!!

[michaelisaacks]

Don't be so hard on those who don't like the song. They all have their reasons. Just pray that they have songs they do like that lift their spirit.

[Benji797]

Hallelujah for the goodness of God!

[Jamersonde]

About a year ago, WRTV 6 out of Indianapolis used this song with clips of soldiers returning to their families & played it on a live broadcast. :D

[jtoms3]

Easily the best version I've ever heard. Can't get enough.

[yetanotherguyhere]

oh, how i tire of people spilling shit over everyone else and blocking those who try and talk them out of it... namely @SayGen2.

[onestonecold645]

I Love this song!!! Way to go Mark! Keep it up Brother! Praise God!

[mkrabon1]

He is not dead or asleep.

[MetalPunkish]

Does anybody hear them?

[egsampson1989]

This song is kinda sad when you consider that is was written while

Longfellow grieved for his son whom he lost in the civil war.

[justinjsaley]

Does anyone know where I can get this song without the lead singer so that I can use it to sing at some Christmas concerts? It really is amazing!

[ANewMan17]

This song is good all year long!

[BeingHannah923]

got to see this live a few years back :)

[SayGen2]

@all the sappy people. Get a clue and wake up. Music isn't medcine for your life problems.

@all the athiest no one cares- go be miserbale by yourslef and leave us alone

@all the normal people-- nothing ot see here.

[7sisters1]

@SayGen2 1) Music can be soothing to the troubled spirit.

2) I don't know if you are a Christian, but I do care, because as a Christian I am to be Christ-like and He love everybody.

[7sisters1]

@7sisters1 loves*

[yetanotherguyhere]

@SayGen2 you know, just because you don't believe music can help someone back, there's no need to go dipshit. and exacly how can anybody be "normal"? everybody has something that makes them different from others, and thus, no-one is "normal", because we humans are like snowflakes; there doesn't exist two people who is the entirely same person. "normal" doesn't exist. and it's not only atheists that complain to the rest of the world, and some of us doesn't.

[ccdg1066]

Amazing and touching.

[Zeusbanger]

Jesus loves even those 11 who disliked this song...

[rainecris024]

this is a really great song <3 praise God :)

[macaaron98]

the hope and love is eternal and reaches the heart

[sanered]

One of my favorite Christmas songs by Casting crowns!!!

[Bayleebails]

I love the style of this song....its so moving

[CitrusJourney333]

I'm gonna sing this with my classmates! It's such a pretty song

[fillysunray]

This is one of the Christmas songs I allow myself to listen to all throughout the year - simply because it's so amazing.

[yms854907]

Love it!!!!!!!

[1ChristianSister]

I love this at any time of the year because the message is timeless

[EmmyCwazy]

I sang this with my children's choir at church (in 5th grade when I was in it, I'm too old now) for our Christmas program and it was so amazing to sing :)

[youngntherestlezz]

PEACE

[sennyonelove]

Thanks for posting this song. Its one of my favourites, even when its not Christmas. I wanna request for an instrumental version of the song if you can get it. I'll really appreciate it

[cmalachi1981]

I pray every day that both those who beleive and those who do not would live out the meaning and message of this song. God bless

[LBJMVP6]

@cmalachi1981 Thank you for that. A lot of people that I know (I am very active in my church) seem to believe that those who do not believe are lost to love and acting for the good of the world.

[ritademoura]

ALLELUIA!!!

[guitarfreak41658]

still listening to this even though its not christmas time yet :)

[ladylee1196]

Awesome song! Awesome message! PEACE ON EARTH, goodwill to MAN!

[lildj139]

jesus my lord bless my heart

[MRAWESOME11ify]

im with the choir that sang in the background the r so amazing!!!!!

[dangthatshotwoawoa]

i am listing to this in august! this song is epic

[combinelord]

1:57 and 1:00 are the best parts. :D

[combinelord]

"Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it."

Psalm 34:14

[ash1212432]

i love this is amazing. they are talking about how we are singing to god and to people that does not know god.

[cocaine1011]

@2Xtrbo, there is a God, there is also a devil. Whenever yr talking about God ,good or bad, u always work in the devil somewhere, balance.

[Zippy8124]

"Religion is like a penis. It's ok to have one, but don't go shoving it down someones throat"

This song is about peace and you guys are going at each other like no ones business

Cant Christians and Atheists just accept each others differences and move on with it and just enjoy this amazing song?

[stevecav1138]

You'll have to speak up, Mr Dawkins. I can't hear you saying how evil my religion is, over my brothers and sisters holding hands, loving our enemies, giving till it hurts, loving our neighbors as ourselves and putting our lives on the line for peace on earth. Sing with me.

[pobk1]

2Xtrbo you have a right to ur of opinion but if u would look at the bible closely and put together the way God led to Jesus then it makes sense the human race was totally lost doing all sorts of vile things and since God is the father of mankind he had to punish to bring closer those who were his and also Jesus died for the whole world while the old testament was a record of the israelites and thier relation with God

[Jesse859]

It now makes more sense to me than ever when Jesus said, "in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh" (Matthew 24:44).

Less people will be expecting His coming, thanks to the goofball who predicted that it would happen today (May 21, 2011). It is no wonder that Jesus warned that no one but God Himself knows the day and hour of Christ's return (Matthew 24:36). There are some who apparently think it's a good idea to predict both! Unreal.

[xowaterskgurlxo]

im not much of a christian or what not, but i do like this song =)

[SexyKitten200]

@xowaterskgurlxo

same here :D love love lvoe it!

[cvillemont]

Amazing. You really can not cover a song and make it more original. Thank you Casting Crowns.

[cvillemont]

Amazing. You really can not cover a song and make it more original. Thank you Casting Crowns.

[pkidro]

I am an athiest, but i am addicted to this song :)

[GhitaJR]

@pkidro jesus loves you!!!!!

[hossluver1994]

@pkidro You don't have to be religious to appreciate good music :) And I mean that in a good way.

[pkidro]

@hossluver1994 agree a 100%, thx for your reply, i get to listen to it again before i go to bed :D

[michaelisaacks]

@pkidro Hope you don't mind if I say Bless you. I love this song too. I love the fact that you can enjoy this song. It is a really comforting song in times of trouble during Christmas and beyond.

[pkidro]

@michaelisaacks not at all, thank you for your kind words, and yes it's such a beautiful song, in fact i looked it up today to watch this video again

[Sakiman34]

@pkidro So was Longfellow when he wrote it. Don't give up on God, He'll NEVER give up on you.

[donjitsuryu6]

awesome song. beautiful. this is the christian message. the message we should spread to everyone.

[walljumper09]

the story behind this song is sad.But god always wins in the end

[nidopug]

This easily stands as my favourite contemporary Christmas song.

[jodqbp1]

great song !!! we need more like this !!!

[Rockstar7273]

Wow... 11 people didn't hear the bells on christmas... What a shame. Listen to all of you who don't like tis, why do u even watch it?! seriously! How could you not like this! Jesus is the true and only God any sinful person could have! What a shame! Peace on Earth! Thx Jesus!

[macaaron98]

Jesus did bring reconciliation . He is our Savior and Prince of peace

[Jesussaves53]

@thesquirreltree

Please keep samten in prayer

He doesn't believe in God, as God intended please pray for others, even if they don't believe in HIM

[youngntherestlezz]

We need to pray for 9 people whom don't have the lord in their hearts.

[thesquirreltree]

@youngntherestlezz

I pray they just missed the like button xD

But if they dont know you lord let them come to see you in jesus name amen.

There =)

[virus1972]

beautiful song

[1997CSP]

Amazing god bless

[missteriouskitty]

7 people were blinded by their tears of peace and accidentally hit the dislike button...

[greatamericanmomx2]

Mery Cristmas Rodney and family. And for the 7 scruges who disliked this you have no soul and a place in hell is waiting for you.

[MrCtripp09]

@greatamericanmomx2

harsh much?? just disliking a song doesnt mean someone is going too hell...

[michaelisaacks]

@MrCtripp09 It's okay to dislike the song. Not everybody likes the same kind of songs or music. If we did, life would be boring.

[MrCtripp09]

@michaelisaacks

im fine with it is what i said, greatamericanmomx2 said something about people going to hell for disliking a song, i dont think it is an issue to dilike the song at all

[CountryGirlNOhio]

Amen.....I praise you sweet Jesus. Happy Birthday.

[MrTimbaline]

Really?  4 people dont like this song.

Corrupted world

[moondancer1127]

When I first heard this song,I got goosebumps.....beautiful song.....

[slikkyboy]

good version!

for christmas time i prefer the original melody much better though.

[SmallButStrong1]

Anyone know where you can download this from?? :)

[escobedo3000]

@SmallButStrong1 Just copy the url and go to vidtomp3.com and download it :]
