PEACE ON EARTH-GOOD WILL
 TO MEN

Two thousand changeful years ago Great hosts of angels bending low Joyously sang by heavenly strain The wonderfully sweet refrain
 Of peace on earth, good will to men. They heareled thus waiting earth The glorious news of Jesus birth The child to reign as Prince of Peace And never allow the song to cease Of peace on earth good will to men Into manhood he meekly grew; No other law of life he knew, And through each lesson that he
 taught
 The golden symphony was wrought
 Of peace on earth good will to men. In the message that last was given Before he went from earth to heaven There was perfect confirmation Of the angels exultation
 In peace on earth, good will to men. His words shall never pass away; They've lived in force unto this day, And those who listen still may hear The song of angels, encamping near,
 Of peace on earth, good will to men Pity the line of Hohenzollern Iris only they who have to learn Truth sung by bard and taught by
 sage
 Strongly through this Christian age In peace on earth, good will to men Boys from the valley of the Rhine Practiced across the firing line, When in rude strife there came .
 pause,
 Exchange of kindness with foe, be-
 cause,
 Of peace on earth, good will to men But selfish aims of narrowed mind. And feelings wholly unrefined And love alone of earthly power, Ruthlessly crushed this lovely flower
 Of peace on earth, good will to men And then, by will degenerate, Was sown the noisome weed of hate And trained to Spread to all mankind Who keep their thoughts and lives
 enshrined
 In peace on earth, good will to men Armies ne'er formed with cause SC
 pure ~sN Or with victory half so sure, As the unselfsh bands who fight Today, for mans inherent right
 Of peace on earth, good will to mer And when at last this cause is won Never again can war be known Triumphantly shall be unfirled A banner emblazoned o'er the world With peace on earth, good will to mel
