I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
•
Dr. Katrina D. Forseth
On Christmas Day in 1863, during the war-torn era of the Civil War, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the famous American poet, composed the poem, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” Within a decade, the poem was turned into a Christmas carol that is still sung to this day, including modern renditions. The story behind the song is powerful and rings true still today. Listen to this podcast to hear more about the history behind this famous poem and now hymn.
