The Peace Carol - John Denver

The garment of life, be it tattered and torn

the cloak of the soldier is withered 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 two thousand years

The promise that silenced a thousand fears

A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears

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, the troubles 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 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
