Lyrics
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All c 2002 Loren Wilken
Verse:
Lights and tinsel dress the tree.
Wreaths and garlands deck the halls.
Presents and stockings fill the home.
Carols and bells ring through the air.
All these treats add festive fun,
But here?s what Christmas truly means to me:
Chorus 1:
Friends and fam?ly gathered ?round the glowing Christmas tree.
Children laugh with eyes asparkle, wond?rous as can be.
Chorus 2:
Parents old and parents new shine with loving warmth.
?Round them all their treasured fam?ly bless their lives once more.
Bridge:
As the blessed manger babe offered hope anew;
May we in each newborn child see dreams of what could be.
Chorus 3:
Every child throughout the world deserves this bounteous cheer.
Perhaps someday we?ll bring to life, ?Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All.?
Coda Ending Tag:
Joy to the world, may peace prevail.
