Peace! Peace! The whole wide world rejoiceth now, Let war and discord cease; Christ reigneth from the manger, Away with strife and danger; Our God, before whom angels bow, Each taught this lesson by his birth, Good will to men, and peace on earth. Peace! Peace! Hark, through the silent air Angelic songs declare God comes on earth to dwell O hear the heavenly chorus swell, Good will to men, And on earth, peace.
