Oh christmas tree

in the song, oh christmas tree they lyrics are

“Oh christmas tree such pleasure do you bring me!”

Is the use of “do” correct here?

I think it is wrong

It's correct. It would also work without "do". "do" may be added for emphasis or just to fit the meter.

Your source is wrong.

According to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Tannenbaum

The second verse is:

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christma
