The tree of life my soul hath seen
\nLaden with fruit and always green
\nThe tree of life my soul hath seen
\nLaden with fruit and always green
\nThe trees of nature fruitless be
\nCompared with Christ the apple tree<\/p>\n
His beauty doth all things excel
\nBy faith I know but ne’er can tell
\nHis beauty doth all things excel
\nBy faith I know but ne’er can tell
\nThe glory which I now can see
\nIn Jesus Christ the apple tree.<\/p>\n
For happiness I long have sought
\nAnd pleasure dearly I have bought
\nFor happiness I long have sought
\nAnd pleasure dearly I have bought
\nI missed of all but now I see
\n‘Tis found in Christ the apple tree.<\/p>\n
I’m weary with my former toil
\nHere I will sit and rest a while
\nI’m weary with my former toil
\nHere I will sit and rest a while
\nUnder the shadow I will be
\nOf Jesus Christ the apple tree.<\/p>\n
This fruit does make my soul to thrive
\nIt keeps my dying faith alive
\nThis fruit does make my soul to thrive
\nIt keeps my dying faith alive
\nWhich makes my soul in haste to be
\nWith Jesus Christ the apple tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
