If you want to add a Sanskrit version (after all it's still spoken),  
here is one:

शान्तिर्भूयात्पृथिव्या 
श्च प्रीतिपात्राणि  
मानवाः ।

I took it from a translation of the New Testament published in  
Calcutta in 1910. The tiltle page says the translation is the work of  
several English and Bengali scholars, but it doesn't mention their  
names.

Of course; I meant Latin script. But there must be ornate fonts for  
other scripts as well. For Sanskrit, the prettiest font I know of is  
"Devanagari MT", but maybe other members of this list will have  
another one to suggest.
