lyrics

Walk with me among the Christmas trees
Take some time to see the green abound
Needles coat the ground beneath our feet
Make a carpet neat and silent, sound

We walk and we wonder
At the wonders that we see
We can feel the calm and unknowing
Ever-growing majesty
Of a Christmas tree

Norway spruce, Norway Spruce
‘Mong the first put to use
To bring hope of the spring in the green of its shoots
From the wild, brought inside
With the first Christmas lights
In the form of a tallowy candle

And the source of its fame
Is its regal acclaim:
It was brought to this isle in Victoria’s reign
And we scarce would have seen
Such a thing as a tree
In our home, were it not for Prince Albert

CHORUS

Noble fir, noble fir
From the far-flung New World
It is strong and lives long
With its spines blue-green curled
And it came to the fore
In the second World War
With its wood in the fighter plane wings

From the Caspian Sea
Comes the Nordmann fir tree
Baba Yaga ran past it
In her house with bird’s feet
From the dense, dark exile
From the wolves and the wild
To the warmth and the carols we sing

CHORUS
