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
