| Come rest you weary gentlemen
|
| Let nothing you dismay
|
| Lay down your swords and fight no more
|
| For the sake of Christmas Day
|
| A saviour came down to this earth
|
| To show us everyone
|
| How to live in harmony
|
| Together under the sun
|
| Beyond the dark horizon
|
| Lies a far more bountiful land
|
| Void of all starvation
|
| For every woman and man
|
| So reach out from the wilderness
|
| And pray to heaven above
|
| A future lies in wait for us
|
| A world united in love
|
| We don’t need a merry Christmas
|
| We don’t need a Happy New Year
|
| The only wish on Santa’s list
|
| Is that one day there will be
|
| Peace on this earth
|
| Through the valleys
|
| Over the hills
|
| Church bells echo their sound
|
| Whispers travelling through the trees
|
| Over the snow covered ground
|
| Spread the message far and wide
|
| So every one can hear
|
| Home fires glow on angel wings
|
| And banishes every tear
|
| We don’t need a merry Christmas
|
| We don’t need a Happy New Year
|
| The only wish on Santa’s list
|
| Is that one day there will be
|
| Peace on this earth
|
| Grant us. |
| One wish
|
| No more. |
| Pain or sorrow
|
| Hear us. |
| Help us
|
| Build a new tommorrow
|
| So reach out from the wilderness
|
| And pray to heaven above
|
| A future lies in wait for us
|
| A world united in love
|
| We don’t need a merry Christmas
|
| We don’t need a Happy New Year
|
| The only wish on Santa’s list
|
| Is that one day there will be
|
| No more tears or pain at Christmas
|
| No more children living in fear
|
| The only wish on Santa’s list
|
| Is that one day there will be
|
| One day there will be
|
| One day there will be
|
| Peace on this earth
|
| Grant us. |
| Our wish this Christmas |
