Baby Jesus sleeping in His mother Mary's arms Hear the beating of His gifted infant heart Feel the majesty of what He came to be This is peace on earth; this is peace on earth to me See the beauty of the children He adores Feel Him hold you when you stand at sorrow's door Hear Him whispering what He knows you'll be This is peace on earth; this is peace on earth to me I'm not saying that we don't have a long ways to go To worldwide brotherhood that binds us here below But look at all the heaven here that hints at what's above Look at all the simple things we change with love Feel the smile that comes when a good friend thinks to call Hear "I love you" when it echoes in your halls And wonder just how much more blessed your life could be This is peace on earth; this is peace on earth to me
