O Christmas Tree
December 25, 2024
Dear Faith Family,
She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins, (Matthew 1:21).
On a hill far away stood an old Christmas tree
an emblem for all to see
And I see that old tree where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
Oh that old Christmas tree, so disguised by the world
Has a curious attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
to bear it not in vain
In the old Christmas tree now adorned with His blood
A wondrous beauty I see
For twas on that old tree Jesus suffered and died
My sin on Him had been lain
Round the old Christmas tree His bride we shall be
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call us some day to our home far away
Where his glory forever will reign
I’ll rejoice at the old Christmas tree
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the Christ off the cross
And exalt the One bearing the crown
Merry Christmas,
Pastor Karl
