Lyrics:
The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown
[Refrain:] O, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flow'r And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our dear Saviour
[Refrain] The holly bears a berry As red as any blood And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good
[Refrain] The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas Day in the morn
[Refrain] The holly bears a bark As bitter as the gall And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all
[Refrain] The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown
[Refrain]
