Around The Christmas Tree

Author: Eden Reeder Latta Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16076 First Line: Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Refrain First Line: Gather, ga­ther Lyrics: 1 Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Gifts for the ma­ny its branch­es hold; Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Come with re­joic­ing, both young and old; Welcome the glad­some Christ­mas time! Dear to our hearts this hap­py scene! Come, for these gifts of love are thine, Loading the branch­es so fresh and green. Refrain: Gather, ga­ther, Gather around the Christ­mas tree. Gather, ga­ther, Gather around the Christ­mas tree. 2 Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Come with joy beam­ing from eyes so bright! Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Merrily sing­ing with pure de­light; Never for­get the tok­ens fair, Parents and teach­ers here be­stow; Never for­get the ten­der care, Watching and cher­ish­ing you be­low. [Refrain] 3 Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Here we have pre­sents for great and small; Gather around the Christ­mas tree! Thanking the Lord who hath giv­en all; Think of the Sav­ior cru­ci­fied, Sent as the Fa­ther’s gift to men; Flee to the blest Re­deem­er’s side, Never to wan­der from Him again.
