Peace on Earth (and Goodwill to Whom God desires)

(music intro)

O so holy night, Christmas does excite
The good news brought such joy; it came in a brilliant light.
In Bethlehem town, a new babe was found.
The holy child from heaven's glow has come down.

||: Jesus' day of birth, peace He brings to earth
The sky was filled with angels with joy for all it's worth
Angels in a choir, the Savior to aspire
Peace on earth, and goodwill to whom God desires :||

Gentle and lovely one, a sweet baby Son
With love and grace from heaven's light the Father does run
More precious than gold, God wants to be bold
He sent His Son to redeem man - free sin's hold

Kings, to honor: praise; the Son from high plays
With love, the kneeling shepherds all get a chance to gaze
Honor Him - it's right, for all of your life
Honor Him with faith and love not just yuletide.
