Lyrics
Peace to the newborn babe
Peace to the sinner and saved
Peace to the one not yet born
Peace to weary and war-torn
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
Peace to all suffering souls
Peace to the meek and the bold
Peace to this blessed
And to those who have lost their way
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
It's the deepest yearning from our heart
To lay down our arms and proffer a rose
For peace - break down the wall
Raze to the ground my pride
And from our heart, play our part for peace
Peace begins with me.
Peace to the newborn babe
Peace to the sinner and saved
Peace to the one not yet born
Peace to weary and war-torn
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
All lay your head down to rest, mmmm
All lay your head down to rest
