the christmas tree with its candles gleaming
a glow is kindling in all our hearts
it speak of god's pure love-light streaming
it brings us hope
and joy imparts
the children standing round the glit'ring treasure
their eyes are sparkling
their spirits bright
o sweet reminder of loves full measure
our shining symbol of heav'nly light!
for every heart
you offer blessing
for every parent as well as child
for young and old
your beacons beck'ning
lead us to jesus
sweet and mild
