LyicsPeace, peace on earth! the heart of man forever,
Through all these weary strifes, foretells the day;
Blessed be God, the hope forsakes him never,
That war shall end, and swords be sheathed for aye.
Peace, peace on earth! for men shall love each other;
Hosts shall go forth to bless, and not destroy;
For man shall see in every man a brother,
And peace on earth fulfill the angel's joy.
