¶Lyrics / Text

I see a stable, cold and bare A virgin mother, pure and fair The light of heaven 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 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 heavens I see the skies with glory riven Unto us a Son is given Peace is born on earth Oh listen to the angel song That heralds this eternal dawn And through the years the strains prolong Peace is born 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.
