Peace on Earth

Child of Peace

On a night of promise long ago,

When a star announced the light of hope

To a world that knew no peace before

The holy child of peace was born.

But he stirred their longings deep within

For His kingdom knew no end.

From a place eternal high above

The wondrous Child of peace had come.

Child of comfort, Child of light.

Hope that drowns away the night.

Touch our lives from heaven above.

Oh Child of peace, we need your love.

In a world where peace eludes us still

Where the heart exerts its will.

At a time when words are not enough

Oh Child of peace we need your love.

Oh Man of peace we need your love.

God who only knows our need

Come to us, oh Child of peace.

Prayer

May God grant you the light of Christmas, which is faith, the warmth of Christmas which is love; the radiance of Christmas which is purity, the righteousness of Christmas which is justice, the belief of Christmas which is truth, & the all of Christmas which is Christ. AMEN
