Let there be peace, peace to every nation
Let there be hope for all the world to see
Let there be love and joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
If I had one wish on my Christmas list
It wouldn't be for presents under my cheek
There'd be no more tears for crying
No more wars for fighting
And every mother's child would have enough to eat
So when I get down on my knees to pray
I ask the Lord to bless me

Let there be peace, peace to every nation
Let there be hope for all the world to see
Let there be love and joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
When I look in the mirror
All the world will see
All I wanna see
Is true compassion looking back at me
I wanna, I wanna love my neighbor
And be the hands and feet of Jesus
Take His birth to the least of these
All I'm asking is to be the change
When I get down on my knees I say
Let there be peace
Peace, peace to every nation
Let there be hope for all the world to see
Let there be love and joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
Let there be peace, let there be love
Let there be joy for you and me
Let there be peace, let there be love
Let there be joy for you and me
For you and me
Let there be peace, peace to every nation
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
Let there be hope for all the world to see
Let there be love, joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
Peace, peace to every nation
Let there be hope for all the world to see
Let there be love, joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
Peace on earth for you and me
Let there be peace on earth for you and me
Peace on earth for you and me
