0:16The holly and the ivy

0:18When they are both full grown

0:21Of all the trees that are in the wood

0:24The holly wears the crown

0:32The holly bears a blossom

0:34As white as lily flower

0:37And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

0:40To do poor sinners good

1:08The holly bears a prickle

1:10As sharp as any thorn

1:13And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

1:16On Christmas day in the morn

2:07The holly bears a bark

2:09As bitter as any gall

2:12And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

2:15For to redeem us all

2:18O the rising of the sun

2:20The running of the deer

2:23The playing of the merry organ

2:27Sweet singing in the choir

2:57The holly and the ivy

2:59When they are both full grown

3:02Of all the trees that are in the wood

3:07The holly wears the crown

The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly wears the crown
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
O the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly wears the crown
