94. No. 1--"Peace on Earth"

Full Chorus:
Peace on earth, Peace on earth,
Peace on earth, Good will to men!
Reign, O heav'n born Charity,
Sov'reign of all hearts.
Reign supreme, celestial one,
Claim on earth thy rightful throne,
Make the waiting world thine own;
Reign, O reign supreme.

Semi-Chorus:
Queen of Graces, crowned of Heav'n,
By the Prince of Peace ordained,
Queen of graces, crowned of Heav'n;
May thy Kingdom spread
Till all nations own thy sway,
Land and sea thy voice obey;
Haste, O haste eternal day,
Day of Light and Love.
Peace on earth, Peace on earth,
Peace on earth, Good will to man!
Reign, O heav'n born Charity,
Sov'reign of all hearts.
Reign supreme, celestial one,
Claim on earth thy rightful throne,
Make the waiting world thine own;
Reign, O reign supreme.
