Around the Christmas Tree

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Gifts for the ma­ny its branch­es hold;

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Come with re­joic­ing

both young and old;

Welcome the glad­some Christ­mas time!

Dear to our hearts this hap­py scene!

Come

for these gifts of love are thine

Loading the branch­es so fresh and green.

Gather

ga­ther

Gather around the Christ­mas tree.

Gather

ga­ther

Gather around the Christ­mas tree.

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Come with joy beam­ing from eyes so bright!

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Merrily sing­ing with pure de­light;

Never for­get the to­kens fair

Parents and teach­ers here be­stow;

Never for­get the ten­der care

Watching and cher­ish­ing you be­low.

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Here we have pre­sents for great and small;

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Thanking the Lord who hath giv­en all;

Think of the Sav­ior cru­ci­fied

Sent as the Fa­ther’s gift to men;

Flee to the blest Re­deem­er’s side

Never to wan­der from Him again.
