The Holly and the Ivy

The holly and the ivy,

When they are both full grown,

Of all the trees that are in the wood,

The holly wears the crown.

[Chorus:]O the rising of the sun,

The running of the deer,

The playing of the merry organ,

Sweet singing in the choir

Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a blossom

As white as lily flower

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To be our sweet Saviour

[Chorus]The holly bears a berry

As red as any blood

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To do poor sinners good.

[Chorus]The holly bears a prickle

As sharp as any thorn

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

On Christmas day in the morn

[Chorus]The holly bears a bark

As bitter as any gall

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

For to redeem us all.

[Chorus]The holly and the ivy,

When they are both full grown,

Of all the trees that are in the wood,

The holly wears the crown.

[Chorus]
