Traditional / Arr. Rutter: Sans Day Carol
Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk
And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass
And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal
And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Now the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red
Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead
And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass
And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal
And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Now the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red
Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead
And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
