Sweet peace on earth, good will to men,
The angels now are singing;
Their anthem, caroled thro’ the sky,
In every heart is ringing:

Refrain

The Christ is come to lead us home,
His star shines forth in glo­ry;
Let every bell the tidings tell,
That all may know the story.

O Christ, their simple gifts to Thee
Thy little ones are bringing;
No gold, or myrrh, or costly gems,
But they are softly singing:

Refrain

’Tis all that we can do for Thee;
But, even angel voices
Can ne­ver sing a nobler song
Than that which earth rejoices:

Refrain
