1. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Your leaves are faithful ever!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Your leaves are faithful ever!
Not only green when summer glows
But in the winter when it snows,
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Your leaves are faithful ever!
2. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
You are the tree most loved;
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
You are the tree most loved;
How oft you've given me delight
When Christmas fires were burning bright!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
You are the tree most loved;
3. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Your faithful leaves will teach me
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Your faithful leaves will teach me
That hope and love and constancy
Give joy and peace eternally.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Your faithful leaves will teach me
