The Peace Carol Lyrics

Joe Pisapia The Peace Carol

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
