|
The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown |
|
Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown |
|
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 flower |
|
And Mary bore sweet |
|
Jesus Christ to be our sweet |
|
SaviorO 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 berry as red as any blood |
|
And Mary bore sweet |
|
Jesus Christ to do poor sinners good |
|
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 prickle as sharp as any thorn |
|
And Mary bore sweet |
|
Jesus Christ on |
|
Christmas |
|
Day in the morn |
|
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 bark as bitter as the gall |
|
And Mary bore sweet |
|
Jesus Christ for to redeem us all |
|
O the rising of the sun and the running of the deer |
|
The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir |
