[Verse 1] The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir [Verse 2] The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flower And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our dear sweet Saviour [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir [Verse 3] The holly bears a berry As red as any blood And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir [Verse 4] The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas Day in the morn [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir [Verse 5] The holly bears a bark As bitter as the gall And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir [Verse 6] The holly and the ivy Now both are full well grown Of all trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir
