[Verse 1]
    G                       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]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

    Em                    Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Verse 2]
    G                           Am
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years

    D7                    G
The promise that silenced 1000 fears

   Em                       Am
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Chorus]
    G                    Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

    Em                   Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Verse 3]
    G                  Am
Add all the grief that people may bear

D7                    G
Total the strife, the troubles and care

Em                      Am
Put them in columns and leave them right there

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

    Em                   Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

    Em                   Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
