For the Fifth Day of Advent: The tree of life my soul hath - TopicsExpress



          

For the Fifth Day of Advent: The tree of life my soul hath seen, Laden with fruit and always green: The trees of nature fruitless be Compared with Christ the apple tree. His beauty doth all things excel: By faith I know, but neer can tell The glory which I now can see In Jesus Christ the apple tree. For happiness I long have sought, And pleasure dearly I have bought: I missed of all; but now I see Tis found in Christ the apple tree. Im weary with my former toil, Here I will sit and rest awhile: Under the shadow I will be, Of Jesus Christ the apple tree. This fruit doth make my soul to thrive, It keeps my dying faith alive; Which makes my soul in haste to be With Jesus Christ the apple tree. From Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs, compiled by Joshua Smith, New Hampshire, 1784 Tune by Elizabeth Poston, 1905-1987
