Wikipedia:
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth) is one of George’s most popular songs, among fans and music critics, and features a series of much-praised slide-guitar solos from Harrison. The recording signalled a deliberate departure from his earlier post-Beatles work, in the scaling down of the big sound synonymous with All Things Must Pass and his other co-productions with Phil Spector over 1970–71. Aside from Harrison, the musicians on the track are Nicky Hopkins, Jim Keltner, Klaus Voormann and Gary Wright.

Lyrics:
Give me love, give me love
Give me peace on Earth
Give me light, give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul
