''LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH"
(Let It Begin With Me)By Sy Miller and Jill Jackson
Let there be peace on earthAnd 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 brotherIn perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me,Let this be the moment now,With ev'ry step I take,Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment and live each momentIn peace eternally.Let there be peace on earthAnd let it begin with me.
One summer evening in 1955, a group of 180 teenagers of all races and religions, meeting at a workshop high in the California mountains locked arms, formed a circle and sanga song of peace. They felt that singing the song, with its simple basic sentiment-"Let therebe peace on earth, and let it begin with me," helped to create a climate for world peace andunderstanding.
When they came down from the mountain, these inspired young people brought thesong with them and started sharing it. And, as though on wings, "Let There Be Peace OnEarth" began an amazing journey around the globe. It traveled first, of course with theyoung campers back to their homes and schools, churches and clubs. Then the circle startedby the teenagers began to grow. Soon the song was being shared in all fifty states - atschool graduations and at PT A meetings, at Christmas and Easter gatherings and as partof the celebration of Brotherhood Week. It was a theme for Vetel'an's Day, Human RightsDay and U. N. Day. 4H Clubs and the United Auto Workers began singing it. So ,lid theAmerican Legion, the B'na: B·l'ith. the Kiwanis Clubs and CORE. It was taped, recorded,copied, printed in song books, and passed by word of mouth.
The song spread overseas to Holland, England, France, Germany, Lebanon. To SouthAmerica, Asia and Australia, The Maoris in New Zealand sang it - even the Zulus inAfrica sang it.
Professional singers took it up. Among them, Ernie Ford, Andy Williams, Danny Kaye,
Nat Cole, the Smothers BrotheY's, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Eddie Albert, Edie Adams, John
Gary, Pearl Bailey, Roberta Shore. Champ Butler, the King Sisters, Mary Tyler Moore, John
Raitt, Robie Lester. Liberace, Bob Crosby, the International Childrens' Choir, Jack Halloran,
Gisele MacKenzie. Richanl Summers, Lloyd Bridgcs. Patti Page, Angela Cartwr1:ght, the Young
Americans, Carole Wells, Jack Smith, Pat Boone, Johnny Mathis, Rhonda Fleming, Stan
Melton, Norman LubofJ, the Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Lorne Greene and Ted Mack TY Showsand Father Keller's,Christopher TV Series.
The song began to win awards. "Let There Be Peace On Earth" was awarded the GeorgeWashington Honor Medal by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge for "Outstandingachievement in helping to bring about a better understanding of the American Way of Life."It also received a Brotherhood Award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews.
This simple thought, "Let There Be Peace On Earth, and Let it Begin With Me" first
born on a mountain top in the voices of youth, continues to travel heart to heart - gather
ing in people everywhere who wish to become a note in a song of understanding and peace-peace for all mankind.
