The Prince of Peace
by W. H. Draper
Hush, all ye sounds of war,
Ye nations all be still,
A voice of heavenly joy
Steals over vale and hill,
O hear the angels sing
The captive world's release,
This day is born in Bethlehem
The Prince of Peace.
No more divided be,
Ye families of men,
Old enmity forget,
Old friendship knit again,
In the new year of God
Let brothers' love increase,
This day is born in Bethlehem
The Prince of Peace.
Thou heart of man, where all
His hate and feuds are born,
By lust and passion lashed,
By wrath and fury torn,
O let thine inward rage
Thy civil tumult, cease,
This day is born in Bethlehem
The Prince of Peace.
