Saint Boniface and the Christmas Tree Lyrics


Approaching the thunder oak

Evangelizing evermore

An axe in his hands

To vanquish the false god Thor

If their god was so mighty

And if he was so true

Then that oak would’ve never fell

When Boniface chopped it in two

And so the pagans watched in awe

As their mighty tree fell to the ground

For there is only one true God

All else is just idols

The tree of Thor thought to be so mighty

Fell straight to the ground

A new young tree was holy that night

Evergreen like endless life

Pointing upwards toward heaven

The tree of the Christ child

A false God defeated

The true God wins again
