Peace on earth! The morrow bringeth mirth

Hymnal: Pilgrim Songs #150 (1886) Lyrics: 1. Peace on earth! The morrow bringeth mirth. The nighttide bringeth us slumbers deep By His dear grace Who shared our sleep Once on earth, Once on earth. 2. Here on earth, Our Saviour suffered birth, While angels smote their harps of flame, And thrilled the stars with glad acclaim: Peace on earth. 3. May His peace Upon the earth increase, Till all hearts bow to His diadem, And hail the Babe of Bethlehem, Prince of Peace. Languages: English Tune Title: [Peace on earth! The morrow bringeth mirth]
