PEACE ON EARTH', by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Bethlehem hills that solemn night
Last Line: Broadening out from sun to sun
Subject(s): Peace


Bethlehem hills that solemn night
Softly beheld a golden sight.
Thrilled to a burst of holy sound :
"Glory to God in the farthest height.
Peace on earth
To men of worth.
Men in whom God's grace is found!"

Ever has that angelic lay
Widened over the earth away ;
Still the quivering echoes run
From listening night to listening day-
"Peace, peace, peace,"
They never cease.
Broadening out from sun to sun
