Paroles
1 . The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
of all the trees within the wood,
The holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun,
The running of the deer,
the playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir,
Sweet singing in the choir.
2. The holly bears a blossom,
As white as lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our sweet Savior.
