Text: H. Brueckner
Musik: anonym
| O Christmas Tree | ||
Evergreen […] | ||
| 1. | O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | |
| How green thy branches ever! | ||
| Thou still art green when summer wanes | ||
| And wintry winds sweep o'er the plains. | ||
| O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | ||
| How green thy branches ever! | ||
| 2. | O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | |
| Thy verdant branches please me. | ||
| The sight of thee at Christmas time | ||
| Doth make me sing a joyful rhyme. | ||
| O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | ||
| Thy verdant branches please me. | ||
| 3. | O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | |
| Thy dress so green would teach me: | ||
| Fair hope, in trouble and distress, | ||
| Is felt to be a sweet caress. | ||
| O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | ||
| Thy dress so green would teach me. | ||
| 4. | O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | |
| What golden lights adorn thee! | ||
| Like stars they shine in beauty bright, | ||
| To fill each heart with pure delight. | ||
| O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | ||
| What golden lights adorn thee! | ||
| 5. | O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | |
| How loving hands have decked thee! | ||
| Thus God's own love will make of me | ||
| For Paradise a shining tree. | ||
| O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, | ||
| How loving hands have decked thee! | ||
