Lyrics and Music: Traditional German

1. 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!

2. 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

3. 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
