Lyrics

The holly and the ivy now are both well 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
The 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 Savior
O the rising of the sun and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
The sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears a berry as red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to do sinners good
O the rising of the sun and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
The sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears a prickle as sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ on
that hallowed Christmas morn
On that hallowed Christmas morn
Hallowed Christmas morn
