Enchantment
held the battlefield at Christmas time
No
Eastern Kings came bearing gifts to celebrate a birth
But
in the midst of conflict there was Peace on Earth
Chorus
Peace
on Earth, Peace on Earth
Repeat
last line
Then
enemy found enemy to their surprise
No
savagery, no emnity behind their eyes
Then
all was salutation and joy and mirth
And
for an instant there existed Peace on Earth
The
seeds of peace lay buried ‘neath the plains of war
But
like a Christmas rose they blossomed by the score
The
seeds of peace are with us still for those who know their worth
And
we can all remember and bring Peace on Earth
Throughout
the world wherever present conflicts be
Although
divided there can still be unity
Your
friend could be your enemy by an accident of birth
And
through humanity there can be Peace on Earth
Like
silences at the armistice, like poppies on the tide
Like
tears of joy when differences are reconciled
Like
Christmas 1914 out in No Man’s Land
So join with us in celebrating Kerstbestand
