The Devonshire Carol Songtext
von Bob Fox

The lambkin in the manger, the light upon the lea
The moorland yields to glory, the shepherds bend the knee
And all are wrapped in grace, and all are gifted mirth
Peace walks upon this blessed land
Peace walks upon this blessed land
Peace walks upon this blessed land
Goodwill upon all earth


The ploughboy and his traces, the line upon the land
All′s gifts by nature's graces, her bounty to command
And all are wrapped in grace, and all are gifted mirth
Peace walks upon this blessed land
Peace walks upon this blessed land
Peace walks upon this blessed land
Goodwill upon all earth

Tommy in the meadow, Tommy in the byre
Tommy on the fire step, Tommy on the wire
And those who walked in war, and those who cherished peace

And those who walked this blessed land
And those who walked this blessed land
And those who walked this blessed land
Their souls shall never cease

And those we leave behind us, those who count the cost
Our future is provided by those who won and lost
And those who walk in war, and those who cherish peace


And those who walk this blessed land
And those who walk this blessed land
And those who walk this blessed land
Their souls shall never cease
