I have heard of a tree (Heaven's Christmas Tree)

Author: Charles A. Tindley Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Advent and Christmas First Line: I have heard of a tree, a great Christmas tree Refrain First Line: There is a package for me on that tree Lyrics: 1 I have heard of a tree, a great Christmas tree, it was fixed in yon Bethlehem's stall, The blessings of heaven for you and for me, a Christmas present for all. Refrain: There is a package for me on that tree; a precious token that someone loves me. Oh yes, I can see on Calvary's tree, that there is a package for me. 2 There is one I behold in letters of gold, it hangs on a limb near to me, 'Tis labeled "salvation," and Jesus, I'm told, has bought that package for me. [Refrain] 3 There is one just above, it's title is love, it is marked by a deep crimson stain. For there it was tied by the Lord when he died, and glory to his dear name. [Refrain] 4 Another I see, it must be for me, the worlds "I will help you" I read. While holding his hand, by faith I can stand, and this is the package I need. [Refrain] 5 There are many, I'm sure, but just this one more I speak of above all the rest. It spells "happy home" with God near the throne, a place where the weary shall rest. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I have heard of a tree, a great Christmas tree]
