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! whisp'ring 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.
Mortals, who these blessings feel!
Christians, who before him kneel!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace on earth, good-will to men!
