King Friends Have Decked The Christmas Tree

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10924 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Kind friends have decked the Christmas tree Lyrics: 1 Kind friends have decked the Christmas tree, With lights and tokens gay; Sweet peace and hope and liberty Make glad all hearts today. And standing ’neath the glittering boughs, With mingled voice we sing, “O Father, hear our loving vows, Who givest every thing. 2 "Our life, our joys, each pleasant home, Our gifts, each token fair; From Heaven alone all blessings come, And love is reigning there. O Father, shine within our hearts, With trust, and not in fear! We long to find the better part; Speak, Father: we would hear!" 3 We sing around the Christmas tree; The Christ Child bends above; O’er all the glittering things we see, He seems to whisper, "Love." Ring out, O voices, clear and free, Wake all the quiet air; Ring out in joyous melody, For gladness is a prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS CAROL

Author of "King Friends Have Decked The Christmas Tree" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
