O Christmas Tree

(verses1 & 5 traditional, others by Gord Waldie)

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,

In you we see God's Promise

That even though we might despair

God's brings us life and hope to share

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,

In you we see God's Promise

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,

What wonderful surprises.

Where we expect to only find

cold barren ground you blow our minds.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,

What wonderful surprises.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,

You speak of life unending

Though all around is ice and snow

still life goes on while cold winds blow.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,

You speak of life unending

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.
