The Evergreen ‎#3

3. The Evergreen

1 O beautiful Evergreen! symbol of life,
Life that shall nevermore end,
But glow with immortal freshness
When the years with eternity blend.

Chorus:
Lord, I would be fruitful in Thee
Like the beautiful, beautiful Evergreen tree,
Lord, I would be fruitful in Thee
Like the beautiful, beautiful Evergreen tree!

2 O beautiful Evergreen! symbol of Heav’n,
Where there’s perennial spring,
And fullness of joy forever,
And where praises unceasingly ring. [Chorus]

3 O beautiful Evergreen! symbol of hearts
Clothed in the raiment of white,
Kept pure by the blood of Jesus,
And reserved for the mansions of light. [Chorus]
