Praise for deliverance and peace.
Peace! the welcome sound proclaim;
Dwell with rapture on the theme;
Loud, still louder swell the strain;
Peace on earth, good-will to men!
2 Breezes! whispering soft and low,
Gently murmur as ye blow,
Now, when war 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 on earth, good-will to men!
