1. Tall distant mountain rising through cloud-banks; carp* in a clear pool turning and gliding: Let there be peace, God's peace. Voices of children playing and laughing; Peace for the earth, for all on earth. Let there be peace, God's peace! 2. Guns falling silent, flag of truce flying, mine-finders clearing fields safe for farming: Let there be peace, God's peace. Labourers planting paddy and furrow: Peace for the earth, for all on earth. Let there be peace, God's peace! 3. Foes at a table shouting and speaking, leaving, returning, talking till morning: Let there be peace, God's peace. Handshakes and photos, people applauding: Peace for the earth, for all on earth. Let there be peace, God's peace! 4. Friends at a table, everyone welcome, Christ in our meeting, given and giving: Let there be peace, God's peace. Bread for our sharing, wine for rejoicing: Peace for the earth, for all on earth. Let there be peace, God's peace!
