Jesus Christ the Apple Tree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The tree of life my soul hath seen Laden with fruit and always green The tree of life my soul hath seen Laden with fruit and always green The trees of nature fruitless be Compared to Christ the apple tree [Verse 2] For happiness I long have sought And pleasure dearly I have bought For happiness I long have sought And pleasure dearly I have bought I missed it all, but now I see 'Tis found in Christ the apple tree [Verse 3] I'm weary with my former toil Here I will sit and rest awhile I'm weary with my former toil Here I will sit and rest awhile Under the shadow I will be Of Jesus Christ the apple tree [Verse 4] This fruit doth make my soul to thrive It keeps my dying faith alive This fruit doth make my soul to thrive It keeps my dying faith alive Which makes my soul in haste to be With Jesus Christ the apple tree [Verse 1] The tree of life my soul hath seen Laden with fruit and always green The tree of life my soul hath seen Laden with fruit and always green The trees of nature fruitless be Compared to Christ the apple tree
