English text
- 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
- Refrain:
- Oh, 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 flower
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to be our sweet savior
- Refrain
- The holly bears a berry as red as any blood
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to do poor sinners good
- Refrain
- The holly bears a prickle as sharp as any thorn
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ on Christmas Day in the morn
- Refrain
- The holly bears a bark as bitter as any gall
- And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ for to redeem us all
- Refrain
