LyicsPeace! the welcome sound proclaim;
Dwell with rapture on the theme;
Loud, still louder swell the strain;
Peace on earth, good-will to men!
Breezes, whispering soft and low,
Gently murmur as ye blow,
Now, when war and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.
Ocean's billows, far and wide,
Rolling in majestic pride!
Loud, still louder swell the strain;
Peace on earth, good-will to men!
Vocal songsters of the grove,
Sweetly chant in notes of love,
Now, when war and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.
