16822. Peace On Earth, Good Will To Men

1 Peace on earth, peace on earth,
Je­sus is born!
Joy­ous news to ev­ery home!
Lo! the pro­mised time is come,
An­gels chant in joy­ful strain,
Glo­ry be to God a­gain.
Peace on earth, good will to men,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

Refrain:
Glo­ry be to God a­gain,
Peace on earth, peace on earth;
Peace on earth, good will to men,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

2 Peace on earth, peace on earth,
Hail, bless­èd morn!
How the bright­ness filled the sky,
When the shep­herds heard with joy,
List’n­ing to that sweet­est lay,
"Un­to you is born to­day,
Christ the Sav­ior!" Go and see,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing. [Refrain]

3 Peace on earth, peace on earth,
Wel­come the star!
See the wise men from the east,
Guid­ed to the won­drous Guest;
Bring­ing trea­sures from a­far,
Gold and frank­in­cense and myrrh;
Bow with them in rev­erence there,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing. [Refrain]

4 Peace on earth, peace on earth,
Hear it a­gain!
Peace on earth, to man good will,
Ev­ery heart with rap­ture thrill;
Ev­ery land and na­tion rise,
And with heart and lip and voice,
Join the tri­umph of the skies,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing. [Refrain]
