Am
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn
D7 G
The cloak of the soldier is withered and worn
Em Am
But what child is this that was poverty-born
D7 G
The peace of Christmas Day
CHORUS (same pattern as verses):
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 2000 years
The promise that silenced 1000 fears
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears
The peace of Christmas Day
(chorus)
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
