o christmas tree carol

o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
thy leaves are so unchanging;
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
thy leaves are so unchanging;
not only green when summer's here,
but also when 'tis cold and drear.
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
thy leaves are so unchanging!

o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
much pleasure thou can'st give me;
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
much pleasure thou can'st give me;
how often has the christmas tree
afforded me the greatest glee!
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
much pleasure thou can'st give me.

o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
thy candles shine so brightly!
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
thy candles shine so brightly!
from base to summit, gay and bright,
there's only splendor for the sight.
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
thy candles shine so brightly!

o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
how richly god has decked thee!
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
how richly god has decked thee!
thou bidst us true and faithful be,
and trust in god unchangingly.
o christmas tree! o christmas tree!
how richly god has decked thee! !"
