The tree of life my soul hath seen,
Laden with fruit and always green;
The trees of nature fruitless be,
Compar’d with Christ the Appletree.
This 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 Appletree.

For happiness I long have sought,
And pleasure dearly I have bought,
I miss’d of all but now I see
‘Tis found in Christ the Appletree.
With great delight I make my stay,
There’s none shall fright my soul away,
Among the sons of men I see,
There’s none like Christ the Appletree.

I’ll sit and eat this fruit divine,
It cheers my heart like spirtual wine;
And now this fruit is sweet to me,
That grows on Christ the Appletree.
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 Appletree.
