Peace on Earth

The following are the words to one of the songs in my Christmas Cantata, Hope for Peace.  This one is called Peace on Earth.

Peace on earth, when will there be peace on earth?
When we lay down our hate, when we lay down our pain
Join our hands and pray
When the light of the truth shines in everyone's hearts and love is the rule
There will be peace on earth

Peace on earth, the angels sang peace on earth
Good will to everyone, this night a Saviour comes
Bringing peace to all
When the light of the truth shines in everyone's hearts and love is the rule
There will be peace on earth

Unto us a child is born
Glad tidings of great joy are heard
Now we can all live in love
When the light of the truth shines in everyone's hearts and love is the rule
There will be peace on earth

Within each heart a candle glows
Within each voice a whisper grows
Hoping someday all will know
When the light of the truth shines in everyone's hearts and love is the rule
There will be peace on earth
