Let There Be Peace on Earth

I had to do a hymn report on a hymn and this is my report.

Let There Be Peace on Earth


My song is Let There be Peace on Earth. The authors and composers are Sy Miller, and Jill Jackson Miller. Jill was an actress and song writer. She wrote the song Let There be Peace on Earth in the summer of 1955. When Jill was young, she became an orphan. Jill Jackson miller had to go through foster care too.

I interviewed two people, my grandmother, and my pastor . His name is pastor Dave. The first question I asked them was , "What does this song mean to you?" Pastor Dave replied, "to me it means that I have to treat others like I want to be treated." Grandma answered, "To me this song is a sign of a God who would like to see all nations live in harmony." Next I said, " What do you feel when you sing this song?" Pastor said, " I feel hopeful that I can be a person of peace." Grandma answered, " I feel calm and peaceful." The third question was, " How can you apply this song to your life?" Grandma answered, "To try to help others and set a good example for them to follow. This would be the beginning of a web that would be spread to others to make peace on earth." Pastor Dave said, "I want to treat others equally to make peace." The final question was, "How can this song help you in times of need?" Pastor Dave said, "when I’m feeling like I don’t have peace, It gives me peace and hope." Grandma answered, "It can help me in times of need by keeping me calm, to look at the situation realistically . "


To me this song means that people are saying and calling for there to be peace on earth, and that makes me happy.
