O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree
Christmas Carol
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!"

Thanks and Acknowledgements
Thanks to Matt & Cheryl Lind for contributing this version of O Christmas Tree! Here's what they wrote:
"Thank you so much for this web site! I speak some German (at one point was fairly conversational but am now very rusty) and am trying to brush up so I can speak it to my 18-month old to expose him to a second language. I am looking for resources to play and interact with him in German and this site is perfect!
FYI, thought you might be interested in the English translation of O Tannenbaum that I am familiar with. I grew up not knowing it was a German song until we lived in Munich for 5 months when I was 12 years old."
Thanks to Lila for the illustration!
Thank you very much!
