The tree of life my soul hath seen Laden with fruit, and always green: The trees of nature fruitless be Compared with Christ the apple tree His beauty doth all things excel: By faith I know, but ne'er can tell The glory which I now can see In Jesus Christ the apple tree For happiness I long have sought And pleasure dearly I have bought: I missed of all; but now I see 'Tis found in Christ the apple tree 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 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 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
