The Holly And The Ivy Lyrics - Traditional

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 

O the rising of the sun 

And the running of the deer 

The playing of the merry organ 

Sweet singing of the choir 

The holly bears a blossom 

As white as lily flower 

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 of 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 of 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 of the choir

The holly bears a bark 

As bitter as any gall;

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 of the choir 

The holly and the ivy 

Now both are full 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 

Sweet singing of the choir
