Peace Is Born on Earth ====================== w&m: Sally DeFord, 2002 [Verse 1] I see a stable, cold and bare, A virgin mother, pure and fair, The light of heav'n surrounds her there, Peace is born on earth. And in a manger gently laid, a baby slumbers in the hay, A miracle is wrought this day, Peace is born on earth. [Verse 2] I see the shepherds come in haste to look upon their Savior's face, And wise men seek this holy place where peace is born on earth. A new star rises in the heav'ns, I see the sky with glory riven, Unto us a Son is given, Peace is born on earth. [Verse 3] Oh listen to the angel song that heralds this eternal dawn, And through the years the strains prolong, Peace is born, Peace is born! [Verse 4] I wonder now if I would know, Like men of wisdom long ago, The star that first was set aglow when peace was born on earth, For as I lift my eyes afar to seek the Bright and Morning Star, The light of heaven fills my heart, And peace is born on earth. [Coda] The light of heaven fills my heart, And peace is born on earth. Peace is born on earth.
