The Holly and Ivy

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2513 First Line: The Holly and the Ivy Refrain First Line: O the rising of the sun Lyrics: 1. 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. Refrain O the rising of the sun, The running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the quire, Sweet singing in the quire. 2. The Holly bears a blossom, As white as lily-flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Savior. [Refrain] 3. The Holly bears a berry, As red as any blood; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good. [Refrain] 4. The Holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn. [Refrain] 5. The Holly bears a bark, As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to redeem us all. [Refrain] 6. 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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The Holly and the Ivy]
