1 Peace! the welcome sound proclaim;
Dwell with rapture on the theme.
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace of earth! good-will to men!
2 Breezes! whisp'ring soft and low,
Gently murmur as ye flow,
Now, when was and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.
3 Ocean's billows far and wide,
Rolling in majestic pride!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace on earth! good-will to men!
4 Vocal songsters of the grove!
Sweetly chant in notes of love,
Now when war and discord cease,
Praises to the God of peace.
5 Mortals, who these blessings feel!
Christians, who before him kneel!
Loud, still louder swell the strain:
Peace of earth! good will to men!
