Author: H. Brueckner; Anon. Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #102 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O let us praise the Christmas tree,
Its beauty is amazing;
What joy it brings to you and me,
And how we clap our hands in glee
When all its lights are blazing,
When all its lights are blazing,
Yes, blazing.
2 For, lo in this most holy night
The Christ to us was given;
Had he not saved us by His might,
In darkness there would be no light,
But now the clouds are riven,
But now the clouds are riven,
Yes, riven.
3 And from the throne of God on high
A flood of light comes streaming;
The night is gone, no more we sigh,
Our hearts are bright with hope and joy,
Our faces, too, are beaming,
Our faces, too, are beaming,
Yes, beaming.
4 So to the Christmas tree we bring
Our praises, loudly chanted,
And hallelujahs, too, we sing
to Christ, our Prophet, Priest and King,--
The Life-tree, in us planted,
The Life-tree, in us planted,
Yes, planted. Topics: Christmas
