The Christmas Tree, the Fairest Tree

The Christ­mas tree

the fair­est tree

On earth no riv­al know­ing;

Howev­er small the gar­den be

All ra­diant blooms the won­drous tree

With ev­ery flow­er glow­ing

With ev­ery flow­er glow­ing

Yes

glow­ing.

List while I tell: one glor­ious night

The Lord to earth was giv­en.

The Sav­ior

who with ho­ly light

Led lost and sin­ful man aright

And brought him back to Heav­en

And brought him back to Heav­en

To Heav­en.

His gra­cious rays il­lume the earth

The night of fear dis­pel­ling.

Your Christ­mas gifts

your joy­ous mirth

Today the Christ-child sends to earth.

Come make your heart His dwell­ing

Come make your heart His dwell­ing

His dwell­ing.

O let Him in! ’tis not a dream;

Your heart shall be His gar­den

Wherein shall grow a tree most fair

Protected by His ten­der care

And yield­ing peace and par­don

And yield­ing peace and par­don

And par­don.
