"O Christmas Tree"

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches (x2)

Not only green in summer's heat
But also winter's snow and sleet
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Of all the trees most lovely (x2)
‍
Each year you bring to us delight
With brightly shining Christmas light
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Of all the trees most lovely
‍

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
We learn from all your beauty (x2)

Your bright green leaves with festive cheer
Give hope and strength throughout the year
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
We learn from all your beauty

"O Tannenbaum" adapted by Ernst Anschütz in 1824
from 16th-century Silesian folk song by Melchior Franck.
