OH CHRISTMAS TREE (Trad, new lyrics & arrangement © Karyn Ellis)
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Not only green in summer’s heat
But also winter snow and sleet.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How graceful are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How graceful are thy branches.
Each bough we dress in tiny lights
Bring joy and comfort to this night.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How graceful are thy branches.
How graceful are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How steady are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How steady are thy branches.
Not only brave when summer’s bright
You give us hope through coldest nights
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How steady are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Each passing year your needles shine
Resplendent in your verdant pine
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
How lovely are thy branches.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
How lovely are thy branches.
Wie grün sind deine Blatter?
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Not only green in summer’s heat
But also winter snow and sleet.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How graceful are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How graceful are thy branches.
Each bough we dress in tiny lights
Bring joy and comfort to this night.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How graceful are thy branches.
How graceful are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How steady are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How steady are thy branches.
Not only brave when summer’s bright
You give us hope through coldest nights
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How steady are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Each passing year your needles shine
Resplendent in your verdant pine
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are thy branches.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
How lovely are thy branches.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
How lovely are thy branches.
