fil campbell - peace in erin lyrics

peace in erin
(traditional, lyrics hugh mcwilliams, arr. campbell/mcfarland, imro)

were all mankind inclined like me
to live in peace and unity
no more contention there would be
among the sons of erin
originally we were sprung
from father adam, old and young
these words should flow from every tongue:
we’ll cherish peace in erin

we’re formed by one deity
to worship him, let’s all agree
and live in peace and harmony
with every class in erin
on sundays, if our paths do lie
to clough, or to thе glens+ close by
this should not weakеn friendship’s tie
among the sons of erin!

what shore can boast so pure an air;
or men so brave, or girls so fair
or who was e’er esteemed in war
before the sons of erin?
their courage far abroad is known
in field of mars their glory shone;
now let us cultivate at home
the laws of peace in erin!
if fortune fair and commerce shine
upon my dear, my native isle
not egypt with her flowing nile
could equal thee, sweet erin;
fine silver lakes and pearly streams
with verdant groves where music rings
now peace, with healing in her wings
will bless this land of erin

tis principle that shows the man
this is the one, the only plan
and it’s one that i have built upon
when passing through old erin
so let us, at this present day
drive prejudice and spleen away
far, far across the atlantic sea
and we’ll all shake hands in erin!
