Now
the holly bears a berry as white as the milk,
And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk:
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!
Now
the holly bears a berry as green as the grass,
And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross:
Now
the holly bears a berry as black as the coal,
And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all:
Now
the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red,
Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead:
