The document celebrates that with the birth of Christ, sin and death have been overcome. It references biblical stories like David and Goliath, Samson, Gideon, and Solomon to represent that war and strife are now done because through Christ, God and man are reconciled and at peace. The repetition of "Alleluia" and the lines "War and strife are done" and "God and man are one" act as a refrain throughout the poem.

1. EARTH TODAY
REJOICES

2. Earth today rejoices,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Death can hurt no more;
And celestial voices,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,

3. Tell that sin is o'er.
David's sling destroys the foe:
Samson lays the temple low:
War and strife are done,
God and man are one.

4. Reconciliation,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Peace that lasts for aye.
Gladness and salvation,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,

5. Came on Christmas Day.
Gideon's Fleece is wet with
dew,
Solomon is crown'd anew:
War and strife are done.
God and man are one.

6. Though the cold grows
stronger,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Though the world loves night,
Yet the days grow longer,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,

7. Chris is born our Light.
Now the Dial's type is learnt,
Burns the Bush that is not
burnt:
War and strife are done;
God and man are one.
