O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
 How lovely are your [thy] branches!
 In summer sun or winter snow,		[beauty green will always grow]
 A dress of green you always show.	[Through summer sun and winter snow]

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
 How fragrant are your branches!
 When decked with candles once a year
 You fill our hearts with Yuletide cheer.

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
 You are the tree most loved!
 How often you give us delight
 In brightly shining Christmas light!

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
 Your beauty green will teach me
 That hope and love will ever be
 The way to joy and peace for me.

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
 Your branches green delight us.
 They're green when summer days are bright:
 They're green when winter snow is white.

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
 You give us so much pleasure!
 How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
 O green fir tree, gives us delight!

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
 Forever true your colour.
 Your boughs so green in summertime
 Stay bravely green in wintertime.

 O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
 You fill my heart with music.
 Reminding me on Christmas Day
 To think of you and then be gay.

 How often has the Christmas tree
 Afforded me the greatest glee!

 And trust in God unchangingly

 On Christmas Day you stand so tall,
 Affording joy to one and all.

 Your boughs are green in summer's glow,
 And do not fade in winter's snow.

 While other trees of leaves are bare.

 Though clouds may cover all the sky.
