Copyright-protected Lyrics for “Let There Be Peace on Earth”
By Jill Jackson and Sy Miller
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me;
Let there be peace on earth,
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we,
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now;
With every step I take,
Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
** Below: Composer approved alternate lyrics. No
other alternate lyrics may be used.
With God our creator
We are family,
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony.
Or for venues like schools that cannot use the word, “God”:
With Earth as our Mother
We are family,
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony.
**If you choose to use one of the composer approved alternate lyrics above, and they are printed out in any form, please put an asterisk beside them and a footnote below that says, “Approved alternate lyrics.”
Thank you!
