O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How true you stand unchanging
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How true you stand unchanging
Your boughs so green in summertime
Remain so green in wintertime
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How true you stand unchanging.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy message is enduring
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy message is enduring
So long ago in Bethlehem
Was born the Saviour of all men;
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
They message is enduring.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy faith is so unchanging;
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy faith is so unchanging.
A symbol sent from God above,
Proclaiming Him the Lord of Love;
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How true you stand unchanging!
