O, Christmas tree
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
When oft at joyous Christmas-time
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:
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.
