Awaken shepherds, leave your flocks where they lie.
Stand up, don’t fear, hear the angels cry.
Announcing news that the Great One has come.
Mankind’s freedom will soon be won.
Peace on earth and praise on high!
Go to Bethlehem where the young King lies.
Hear salvation’s sound in the baby’s cry.
The Lord Almighty has come from the sky.
Wearing flesh forever to bring victory nigh.
Peace on earth and praise on high!
He brings peace from the Father above.
Oh what a plan heaven’s heart has wove.
Gifts of grace and abundance of love.
Life-changing power of the Heavenly Dove.
Peace on Earth and praise from above!
This baby poor is the Prince of Life.
The Prince would die that the dead might live.
The greatest gift God knew how to give.
Remember this each day that you live.
Peace on Earth and praise on high!
