Wildwood Carol Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Sing o the wild wood, the green holly 

The silent river and barren tree 

The humble creatures that no man sees 

Sing O the wild wood 

A weary journey one winter's night 

No hope of shelter, no rest in sight 

Who was the creature that bore Mary? 

A simple donkey 

And when they came into Bethl'hem town 

They found a stable to lay them down 

For their companions that Christmas night 

An ox and an ass 

And then an angel came down to earth 

To bear the news of the Saviour's birth 

The first to marvel were shepherds poor 

And sheep with their lambs
