Lyrics
The holly and the ivy
Now they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly tree bears the crown
The rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
The singing all in the choir
The holly tree bears a blossom
As white as any flower
As Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
The holly tree bears a berry
As red as any blood
As Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do us poor sinners good
The rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
The singing all in the choir
The holly tree bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
As Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
The holly tree bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
As Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
The rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
The singing all in the choir
The rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
The singing all in the choir
