Lover of Bible truth: Re: the song ” O Christmas Tree”–Does this bring praise to Jesus or to the tree?
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer’s here,
But also when ’tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There’s only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee! !”

I strongly feel that it strictly praises the tree! Sad, huh? Jesus is the reason for the season! Merry Christmas! Keep the Christ in Christmas!

Answer by firefly
I don’t like this song and no it doesn’t praise Jesus but neither do J.W.’s.

Answer by Mandy
It seems to only praise the tree, but I don’t think there is anything anti-Christian about the song. The last verse seems to give praise to God for making the tree, not the tree itself, and uses the tree as a symbol of God’s unchanging nature.

However, if you want a Christmas song that tells about the true meaning of the holiday (Jesus’ birth), this isn’t it.
