"On earth peace and goodwill toward men," the Holy angels sang that night, Great Jehovah give all nations Peace and grace to do the right; Grant us, O Lord, this special blessing That we hear of wars no more. Give all nations peace in this world As thou hast on that blest shore. Let all nations cling together Brothers, friends, let's ever be; We should dwell in peace in this world As through long eternity; It's now time for cooperation, All nations should friendly be Brothers, truly loving brothers Clasping hands across the sea. When all wars and strife are ended We'll have joy in ev'ry land. Dwelling safe 'neath vine and fig tree, Brother will clasp brother's hand; Great cannons' roars will be unheard then -- Bloodshed, misery shall cease. We'll walk with the King of Glory Singing melodies of peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO OUR MOCKING-BIRD; DIED OF A CAT, MAY, 1878 by SIDNEY LANIER NO EXEMPTION FOR TOURISTS by KAREN SWENSON RODNEY'S RIDE [JULY 3, 1776] by ELBRIDGE STREETER BROOKS FLANNAN ISLE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 11.
