"A Song of Peace" written by Jonathan Adams, published by Pavane Publishing, P1337 and beautifully sung by Matthew Curtis, Choral Tracks LLC.

This is a very popular church song, but is a bit unusual in that it originated as a folk song about driving a car. Usually it is the church song which is incorporated into the folk culture.

Usually it is the church song which is incorporated into the folk culture. In the Sotho language: "I also like to see the angels on Mount Zion, with all the blessed people."
