O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How steadfast are your branches!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
How steadfast are your branches!


Your boughs are green in summer's clime
and through the snows of wintertime...


O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
how steadfast are your branches!


O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
what happiness befalls me!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
what happiness befalls me!


When oft at joyous Christmastime,
your form inspires my song and rhyme

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me?


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson.


(umm...yes, that is Mary, Joseph, Jesus... and Colby's favorite Dirt Track Lightning McQueen...reminds me of a song I learned in High School "Give of your best to the Master, give him first place in your heart; Give Him first place in your service; Consecrate every part. Give, and to you shall be given. God His beloved Son gave; Gratefully seeking to serve Him, Give Him the best that you have.")

That constant faith and hope sublime
lend strength and comfort through all time.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
your boughs can teach a lesson!
