Jesus Christ the Apple Tree Lyrics

Jesus Christ the Apple Tree
The tree of life my soul hath seen
Laden with fruit and always green
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 treeHis beauty doth all things excel
By faith, I know but ne'er can tell
His beauty doth all things excel
By faith, I know but ne'er can tell
The glory which I now can see
In Jesus Christ the apple treeFor happiness I long have sought
And pleasure dearly I have bought
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 treeI'm weary with my former toil
Here I will sit and rest a while

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
