The Apple Tree
The tree of life my soul has seen
Laden with fruit and always green:
The trees of nature fruitless be
Compared with Christ the apple tree
His beauty does all things excel:
By faith I know, but ne'er 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
I'm weary with my former toil
Here I will sit and rest a while:
Under the shadow I will be
Of Jesus Christ the apple tree
This fruit does 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
Laden with fruit and always green:
The trees of nature fruitless be
Compared with Christ the apple tree
His beauty does all things excel:
By faith I know, but ne'er 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
I'm weary with my former toil
Here I will sit and rest a while:
Under the shadow I will be
Of Jesus Christ the apple tree
This fruit does 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
