1
The holly and the ivy,
2
When they are both full grown,
3
Of all trees that are in the wood,
4
The holly bears the crown
5
[Chorus]
6
O, the rising of the sun,
7
And the running of the deer
8
The playing of the merry organ,
9
Sweet singing in the choir.
10
The holly bears a blossom,
11
As white as lily flow'r,
12
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
13
To be our dear Savior
14
[Chorus]
15
The holly bears a berry,
16
As red as any blood,
17
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
18
To do poor sinners good
19
[Chorus]
20
The holly bears a prickle,
21
As sharp as any thorn,
22
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
23
On Christmas Day in the morn
24
[Chorus]
25
The holly bears a bark,
26
As bitter as the gall,
27
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
28
For to redeem us all
29
[Chorus]
30
The holly and the ivy,
31
When they are both full grown,
32
Of all trees that are in the wood,
33
The holly bears the crown
34
[Chorus]
