Turn My Heart To Peace
1. Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray to God my soul to keep.
Turn my heart, Turn my heart
Turn my heart to peace.
2. Silent night, holy night,
Wish I may, wish I might
Trust the words I claim to believe.
Learn to give as I have received.
Turn my heart, Turn my heart
Turn my heart to peace.
3. Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Hear my prayer, God, hear my song.
As I wake with each new dawn,
Turn my heart, Turn my heart
Turn my heart to peace.
4. Silent night, holy night.
All is calm all is bright.
God who calls us to love our foes.
Help us heal this world of woes.
Turn my heart, Turn my heart
Turn my heart to peace.
5. Silent night, holy night.
God of love, all unite.
Change our fear to community.
Change our pride to equality.
Turn my heart, Turn my heart
Turn my heart to peace.

Peace prayer, evening song, whose lyrics also work to the tune of Silent Night, if you adjust the last two lines to be “Turn my heart to peace, Turn my heart to peace.”
