The Holly & The Ivy Lyrics - A Midwinter Night's Dream - Loreena Mckennitt

Loreena McKennitt 

The holly and the ivy 

When they are full grown, 

Of all the trees in the wood 

The holly bears the crown. 

The rising of the sun 

The running of the deer, 

The playing of the organ 

Sweet singing in the choir. 

The holly wears a blossom 

As white as any flower, 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ 

To be our Saviour.

The rising of the sun, 

The running of the deer, 

The playing of the organ, 

Sweet singing in the choir. 

The holly bears a berry 

As red as any blood, 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ 

To do sinners good. 

The rising of the sun, 

The running of the deer, 

The playing of the organ, 

Sweet singing in the choir. 

The holly bears a prickle 

As sharp as any thorn, 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ 

On Christmas Day in the morn.

The rising of the sun, 

The running of the deer, 

The playing of the organ, 

Sweet singing in the choir. 

The holly bears a bark 

As bitter as any gall, 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, 

To redeem us all. 

The rising of the sun, 

The running of the deer, 

The playing of the organ, 

Sweet singing in the choir. 

The holly and the ivy, 

When they are full grown, 

Of all the trees in the wood, 

The holly bears the crown. 

The rising of the sun, 

The running of the deer, 

The playing of the organ, 

Sweet singing in the choir.
