The Peace Carol
Embracing Peace: Unveiling the Profound Message of 'The Peace Carol'
Lyrics
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn
The essence of life, even if it's worn and damaged.
the cloak of the soldier is withered and worn
The uniform of a soldier, showing signs of age and use.
But what child is this that was poverty-born
Referring to a child born in poverty.
The peace of Christmas Day
Celebrating the peace associated with Christmas.
The branch that bears the bright holly
The plant carrying festive holly.
The dove that rests in yonder tree
A dove resting in a distant tree, symbolizing peace.
The light that shines for all to see
A metaphorical light shining for everyone to witness.
The peace of Christmas Day
Reiterating the peace linked with Christmas.
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years
Referring to the hope dormant for two millennia.
A promise that silenced a thousand fears
A promise that quelled numerous anxieties.
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears
A faith powerful enough to overcome vast sorrows.
The peace of Christmas Day
Reiterating the peace associated with Christmas.
The branch that bears the bright holly
Repetition of the festive holly-bearing branch.
The dove that rests in yonder tree
Repetition of the dove symbolizing peace.
The light that shines for all to see
Repetition of the metaphorical shining light.
The peace of Christmas Day
Reiterating the peace linked with Christmas.
Add all the grief that people may bear
Adding up all the grief people may experience.
Total the strife and the troubles and care
Totaling the conflicts, troubles, and cares.
Put them in columns and leave them right there
List them and leave them aside, emphasizing the contrast with peace.
The peace of Christmas Day
Reiterating the peace associated with Christmas.
The branch that bears the bright holly
Repetition of the festive holly-bearing branch.
The dove that rests in yonder tree
Repetition of the dove symbolizing peace.
The light that shines for all to see
Repetition of the metaphorical shining light.
The peace of Christmas Day
Reiterating the peace linked with Christmas.
The branch that bears the bright holly
Repetition of the festive holly-bearing branch.
The dove that rests in yonder tree
Repetition of the dove symbolizing peace.
The light that shines for all to see
Repetition of the metaphorical shining light.
The peace of Christmas Day
Reiterating the peace associated with Christmas.
