The Holly and the Ivy - Choirs of Winchester Cathedral/Choirs of Bath

Written by：Traditional

The holly and the ivy

When they are both full grown

Of all 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 flow'r

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To be our sweet saviour

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 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
