A Christmas Tree Hymn

September 7, 2023 |

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Your leaves are so unchanging
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Your leaves are so unchanging
Not only green when summer’s here
But also when it’s cold and drear
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Your leaves are so unchanging

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Your lights they shine so brightly
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Your lights they shine so brightly
From base to summit, warm and bright.
Their shining stirs our heart’s delight
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Your lights they shine so brightly.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your beauty brings us pleasure.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Remind us of this treasure.
That God the Holy, ever green
In Bethlehem came to be seen
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Remind us of this treasure.

About Catherine Smith

A retired minister with the United Church of Canada I’ve grown up in church, been ordained and served communities that are small or in transition. I’ve seen firsthand just how powerful these experiences can be in helping to foster meaningful connections with others and the Other, the mystery that holds us all. My greatest hope is that my writing and this website will help you live well in the big questions that face all of us in this beautiful, aching world.
