Lyrics
The holly and the ivy
When they are all 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 dew
The playing of the lark
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as any flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the dew
The playing of the lark
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 dew
The playing of the lark
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blade
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 dew
The playing of the lark
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the dew
The playing of the lark
Sweet singing, sweet singing in the choir
