Lyrics
- 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]
- 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 Savior
- [Chorus]
- The holly bears a berry
- As red as any blood
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
- To do poor sinners good
- [Chorus]
