The Holly and the Ivy |
The holly and the ivy, |
Were working out their words. |
When something Happened poor Jesus christ, |
got caught up in the woods: |
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 |
