A tree was grown at Christmas,   For love is ours at Christmas,
          a sapling green and young;   and life and light restored,
          no tinsel bright with candlelight   and so we praise through endless days
          upon its branches hung.      the Saviour, Christ the Lord.
          But he who came at Christmas
          our sins and sorrows bore,   Words: 'A song was heard at Christmas' by
          and still we name his tree of shame   Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926).
