The Holly and The Ivy is a traditional British folk carol.
Lyrics:
- 1
- 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.
- The rising of the sun
- And the running of the deer,
- The playing of the merry organ,
- Sweet singing in the choir.
- 2
- The holly bears a blossom,
- As white as the lily flower,
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
- To be our sweet Saviour.
- The rising of the sun
- And the running of the deer,
- The playing of the merry organ,
- Sweet singing in the choir.
- 3
- The holly bears a berry,
- As red as any blood,
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
- For to do us sinners good.
- The rising of the sun
- And the running of the deer,
- The playing of the merry organ,
- Sweet singing in the choir.
- 4
- The holly bears a prickle,
- As sharp as any thorn,
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
- On Christmas Day in the morn.
- The rising of the sun
- And the running of the deer,
- The playing of the merry organ,
- Sweet singing in the choir.
- 5
- The holly bears a bark,
- As bitter as any gall,
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
- For to redeem us all.
- The rising of the sun
- And the running of the deer,
- The playing of the merry organ,
- Sweet singing in the choir.
- 6
- 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.
- The rising of the sun
- And the running of the deer,
- The playing of the merry organ,
- Sweet singing in the choir.
