Hey there. I used to have a link to a John Denver site that had the lyrics to this song, but now it is no longer available.

Anyone out there have the lyrics that can copy them for me?

Thanks so much.

Peace Carol

The garment of life be it tattered and 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 two thousand years
A 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 and the 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
