The Holly and the Ivy

Lyrics

[Verse 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 [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 Savior [Chorus] Oh, the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir
