Julian Marshall THE HOLLY AND THE IVY
for SATB choir unaccompanied
ISSUU version for perusal only
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.
The holly bears a blossom, As white as the lily flower, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet saviour.
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 berry, As red as any blood, 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.
Oh the rising of the sun And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir.
