|
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 2000 years |
|
The promise that silenced a 1000 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 |
