A Peace Carol

The garment of life

Be it tattered or torn

The cloak of the soldier

Is weathered and worn

But what child is this

That was poverty born

The peace of Christmas day

The branch that bears the bright holly

The dove that rests in yonder tree

The light that shines for all to see

The peace of Christmas day

The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years

A promise that has silenced a thousand fears

A faith that can pommel an ocean of fears

The peace of Christmas day

The branch that bears the bright holly

The dove that rests in yonder tree

The light that shines for all to see

The peace of Christmas day

Add all the grief that people may bear

Total the strife and trouble and care

Put them in columns and leave them right there

The peace of Christmas day

The branch that bears the bright holly

The dove that rests in yonder tree

The light that shines for all to see

The peace of Christmas day

The branch the bears the bright holly

The dove that rests in yonder tree

The light that shines for all to see

The peace of Christmas day
