Boys, now they're soldiers, marching with their guns

And soon, we' ll hear mothers, weeping for their sons.

LORD I beseech thee

Please wrap your arms around the world

And let there be Peace On Earth for Christmas.

Teach us forgiveness

Where there is hatred, bless with love

This is my prayer ....

War has been raging, throughout history

Oh LORD, we need saving, from this insanity

So, I beseech thee

Please wrap your arms around the world

And let there be Peace On Earth for Christmas.

Teach us forgiveness

Where there is hatred, bless with love

This is my prayer .... for Christmas

Nations will throw their swords down

They won't be needed any more

In a world without the curse of war.

People will work together

United, for the common good

Saving lives, instead of shedding blood

LORD I beseech thee

Please wrap your arms around the world

This is my prayer ....

Peace On Earth for Christmas

Everywhere.
