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.

2.

There is a package for me on that tree,

A precious token that someone loves me,

O yes, I can see,

on Calvary's Tree,

That there is a package for me.

3.

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.

4.

There is a package for me on that tree,

A precious token that someone loves me,

O yes, I can see,

on Calvary's Tree,

That there is a package for me.

5.

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.

6.

There is a package for me on that tree,

A precious token that someone loves me,

O yes, I can see,

on Calvary's Tree,

That there is a package for me.

7.

Another I see,

it must be for me,

The words "I will help you I read,

While holding His hand,

by faith I can stand,

and this is the package I need.

8.

There is a package for me on that tree,

A precious token that someone loves me,

O yes, I can see,

on Calvary's Tree,

That there is a package for me.

9.

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.

Lyrics: Charles Albert Tindley, 1915.
