And snow falls down on me. Peace on earth.
The night is dark and soft. Peace on earth.
The lights that sparkle in the square, The smoke that lingers in the air. Peace on earth.
And grace falls down on me. Peace on earth. The dark will turn aside. Peace on earth.
The fires that burn in every hearth Do sing our praise of Christmas past. Peace on earth.
