OH, CHRIST IS GIV'N
(to the tune of "O Christmas Tree"
German: "Oh Tannenbaum")

Oh, Christ is giv'n, Oh, Christ is giv'n,
Of all God's gifts most gracious.
Oh, Christ is giv'n, Oh, Christ is giv'n,
Of all God's gifts most gracious.

He is the Word, giv'n by God's love,
Bringing life, from God above,
Oh, Christ is giv'n, Oh, Christ is giv'n,
Of all God's gifts most gracious.

He has to us brought light and life;
Peace within the constant strife,
Oh, Christ is giv'n, Oh, Christ is giv'n,
Of all God's gifts most gracious.

He is my life, my consant joy;
Nothing can this peace destroy,
Oh, Christ is giv'n, Oh, Christ is giv'n,
Of all God's gifts most gracious.

Expectant hope, forevermore;
Fear and sorrow; no nevermore.
Oh, Christ is giv'n, Oh, Christ is giv'n,
Of all God's gifts most gracious.
