O Fir Tree Dark

O fir tree dark, O fir tree dear

I wander through the silent night

And feel thy fragrance in the air

And see thy branches robed in white

O fir tree dark, O fir tree dear

How blessed is our Christmas tide

So strong the charm that holds me here

In truth, I scarce can leave thy side

The twinkling lights that deck thy boughs

Enchant me with their shining spell

And in a language all their own

The lovely Christmas story tells

O fir tree dark, O fir tree dear

I feel the wings of angels near
