Full Text

1 I have heard of a tree, a great Christmas tree,

It was fixed in yon Bethlehem's, Bethlehem's stall.

The blessings of heaven for you and for me,

A Christmas present for all.

 

 Refrain:

There is a package for me on that tree;

A precious token that someone loves me.

Oh yes, I can see on Calvary's Tree,

That there is a package for me.

 

2 There is one I behold in letters of gold,

It hangs on a limb near to, limb near to me.

'Tis labeled "salvation," and Jesus, I'm told,

Has bought that package for me. [Refrain]

 

3 There is one just above, it's title is love,

It is marked by a deep crimson, deep crimson stain.

For there it was tied by the Lord when He died,

And glory to His dear name. [Refrain]

 

4 Another I see, it must be for me,

The words "I will help you" I, help you I read.

While holding His hand, by faith I can stand,

And this is the package I need. [Refrain]

 

 

5 There are many, I'm sure, but just this one more

I speak of above all the, bove all the rest.

It spells "happy home" with God near the throne,

A place where the weary shall rest. [Refrain]
