Anthem by the United States Navy Sea Chanters
"Let there be peace on earth" by Jill Jackson Miller (1913-1995); arr. James Turk
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.
The people stand.
[Editor's comment: This deeply moving song was sung Saturday, January 21, 2017, at the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. I am grateful to Army Chaplain (Colonel) Ken Godfrey and his wife, Karen, for sending me the program via an e-mail attachment. God is so good to me to have dear friends like the Godfreys. Ken is presently stationed at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.]
