1. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How beauteous are thy branches.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How beauteous are thy branches.
Your silver cobwebs glisten bright
In lovely glow of candle light.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How beauteous are thy branches.
2. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How laden are your branches!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How laden are your branches!
High at your top a radiant star
Bids all to come where wonders are.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How laden are your branches!
