The Holly & the Ivy - Tow'rs

The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown

Of all the trees out in the wood, The holly bears the crown

O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer

And the playing of merry organ

Sweet singing all can hear, Sweet singing all can hear

The holly bears a blossom, As bright as a lily flower

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, Bloomed forth in sweet colour

O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer

And the playing of merry organ

Sweet singing all can hear, Sweet singing all can hear

The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ Embodied humble love

O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer

And the playing of merry organ

Sweet singing all can hear, Sweet singing all can hear

Sweet singing all can Hear, Sweet singing all can hear

Sweet sinerincr all can Hear.

Sweet sinerincr all can hear

Sweet singing all

O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer

And the playing of merry organ

Sweet singing all can hear, Sweet singing all can hear
