English text
- 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.
