PEACE ON EARTH.

Peace, peace on earth! the heart of man forever
Through all these weary strifes foretells the day;
Blessed be God! the hope forsakes him never,
That war shall end, and swords be sheathed for aye.

Peace, peace on earth! When man to man is brother,
Hosts shall go forth to bless, and not destroy;
Nations shall justly deal with one another,
And peace on earth fulfill the angel's joy.
