Peace rests over the land and the city Lyrics

Peace rests over the land and the city

The world no longer makes noise

The moon smiles happily at its cloud

To star star looks

And the lake clear and calm stands

With the sky in its embrace

On the pond distant watchmen walk

And praise the name of the Lord

It is so quiet and so still

In heaven and on earth

Be also quiet in my chest

You refugee who lives there

Make peace oh heart with every soul

That here does not understand you

See over city and valley in the evening

Now the angel of peace goes

Like you he is a stranger here

To heaven his mind is set

Yet in the quiet starlight

He dwells here like you

It is so quiet and so still

In heaven and on earth

Be also quiet in my chest

You refugee who lives there

O learn from him your evening song

Peace with every soul on earth

To the same heaven our path goes

Separated than our trace

Peace with every heart far and near

Which without rest beats

Peace with the few who love me

And those I never saw

It is so quiet and so still

In heaven and on earth

Be also quiet in my chest

You refugee who lives there

Mmmmmmmm
