CAROL
The Holly bears 'a blossom As white as any flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Saviour. O 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 berry, As red as any blood; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good. O 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 prickle. As sharp as any thorn; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas in the morn. O 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 bark, As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us aIL O the rising of the sun. And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ. Sweet singing in the choir. The Holly and the Ivy Now both are full wel grown; Of all the trees are in the wood The Holly bears the crown. O the rising of the sun. And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir.
