Gather Around the Christmas Tree

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Evergreen have its branch­es been

It is king of all the wood­land scene;

For Christ our king is born to­day!

His reign shall nev­er pass away.

Hosanna

ho­san­na

Hosanna in the high­est!

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Once the pride of the mount­ain­side

Now cut down to grace our Christ­mas­tide;

For Christ from Heav’n to earth came down

To gain

through death

a nob­ler crown.

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Gather around the Christ­mas tree!

Every bough bears a bur­den now—

They are gifts of love for us

we trow;

For Christ is born

His love to show

And give good gifts to men be­low.
