Oh Christmas Tree
Edited, modified, and revised from several versions. David Hersman (December 2004)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
How lovely are thy branches.
Not only green when summer’s here,
But in the coldest time of year,
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
You speak of Christ unchanging.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly.
From base to summit gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
The Light of Christ shines brightly.

Oh, Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson,
That constant faith and hope sublime
Lend strength and comfort through all time.
Oh, Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree,
Your boughs teach us to trust Him.

Oh, Christmas Tree, You speak to me
What wonders Christ has done for me!
Eternal Life, salvation free.
Christmas is God’s gift to me.
Lord Jesus Christ, Upon the Tree,
You give me life eternally.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!
Of all the trees, most lovely.
The love that He imparts to all,
Is purer than the snow that falls
Upon the lovely Christmas Tree.
Lord, thank you for your love to me.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree! You speak of Christ unchanging.
