Sweet Peace on Earth

Sweet peace on earth

good will to men

The an­gels now are sing­ing;

Their an­them

car­oled thro’ the sky

In ev­ery heart is ring­ing:

The Christ is come to lead us home

His star shines forth in glo­ry;

Let every bell the tid­ings tell

That all may know the sto­ry.

O Christ

their sim­ple gifts to Thee

Thy lit­tle ones are bring­ing;

No gold

or myrrh

or cost­ly gems

But they are soft­ly sing­ing:

’Tis all that we can do for Thee;

But

ev­en an­gel voic­es

Can nev­er sing a nob­ler song

Than that which earth re­joic­es:
