Of the beginning of the Christmas tree
are legends far and near
Of each and every one
this is my favorite to hear

It is told that this happened
on a long ago precious night
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem
all living things were led by the light

A light shining brightly
on the stable above the manger
Even trees came bearing their gifts
the light from stars kept them all from danger

Dates were brought by the palm
fruit was from the olive tree
But the lowly little fir had not
a gift for the Christchild to see

It wanted so badly to see Jesus
but the big trees pushed it aside
It was standing in the background
its view the other trees did hide

A nearby Angel saw this happen
and took pity on the little tree
She commanded a cluster of stars to rest
on the firs boughs for all to see

When Baby Jesus saw this sight
it was so beautiful to behold
That He declared this happen at Christmas time
to please little children, we are told

So as we admire our Christmas trees
with each shiny glow of light
Let us remember this story of Baby Jesus
and the stars from Heaven shining brightly at night
