1. O faithful pine, O faithful pine,
You stand in verdant beauty!
O faithful pine, O faithful pine
You stand in verdant beauty!
Your boughs are green in summer's glow,
And do not fade in winter's snow.
O faithful pine, O faithful pine
You stand in verdant beauty.
2. O faithful pine, O faithful pine
I love your spreading branches!
O faithful pine, O faithful pine
I love your spreading branches!
At Christmas time you're green and fair
While other trees of leaves are bare.
O faithful pine, O faithful pine
I love your spreading branches!
3. O faithful pine, O faithful pine
You teach a goodly lesson,
O faithful pine, O faithful pine
You teach a goodly lesson,
That faith and hope will never die
Though clouds may cover all the sky.
O faithful pine, O faithful pine
You teach a goodly lesson.
