::::''1.'' :I have heard of a tree, :a great Christmas tree, :It was fixed in yon Bethlehem's stall. :The blessings of heaven :for you and for me, :A Christmas present for all. ::::''2.'' :There is a package for me on that tree, :A precious token that someone loves me, :O yes, I can see, :on Calvary's Tree, :That there is a package for me. ::::''3.'' :There is one I behold, :in letters of gold, :It hangs on a limb near to me, :'Tis labeled "salvation, :and Jesus, I'm told, :has bought that package for me. ::::''4.'' :There is a package for me on that tree, :A precious token that someone loves me, :O yes, I can see, :on Calvary's Tree, :That there is a package for me. ::::''5.'' :There is one just above, :it's title is love, :It is marked by a deep crimson stain, :for there it was tied by the :Lord when he died, :and glory to his dear name. ::::''6.'' :There is a package for me on that tree, :A precious token that someone loves me, :O yes, I can see, :on Calvary's Tree, :That there is a package for me. ::::''7.'' :Another I see, :it must be for me, :The words "I will help you I read, :While holding His hand, :by faith I can stand, :and this is the package I need. ::::''8.'' :There is a package for me on that tree, :A precious token that someone loves me, :O yes, I can see, :on Calvary's Tree, :That there is a package for me. ::::''9.'' :There are many, I'm sure, :but just this one more :I speak of above all the rest :It spells happy home, :with God near the throne, :A place where the weary shall rest. :Lyrics: '''Charles Albert Tindley, 1915.
