1. Sung by angels o'er a hillside;
    Sending shepherds to a stall:
Rang the carol of redemption.
    "Peace on earth" — good-will to all.

Chorus:
|: "Peace on earth," O mighty chorus!
Floating down the stream of time.
"Peace on earth," it echoes o'er us,
Ringing still in tones sublime. :|

2. Hark! We almost hear them singing!
    Look! The glory shineth bright!
See, the lambs in peaceful slumber.
    On that blessed, wondrous night. Chorus.

3. Mighty carol of redemption!
    Mighty King in lowly guise!
Quicken now our comprehension,
    Help us see with faith's clear eyes. Chorus.
