Joy to the world! Let’s end all wars
Let earth have peace once more!
Let all the girls and boys
put down those warrior toys!
Let’s lift up our fellow man
For the rights of all we’ll stand
O the people want peace and joy,
and never war!
Peace to the world!
Bless every being!
And let the nations sing!
Of sisterhood and brotherhood
Of kindness, love and doing good
Let children play peacefully
In safety and harmony
And everywhere, everywhere
let freedom ring!
God bless the earth,
whose life we need
And let her live serene!
Let forests, fields and plains,
rocks, hills and flowing streams,
and every beautiful scene
be cherished and left clean
And bless, oh bless our planet green!
