The holly and the ivy, when they are both gone,
O'er all the trees and below,
the holly bears their crown.
O'er the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
O'er the playing of the organ,
sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears the blossom as white as earthly flower,
The holly bears the blossom as white as earthly flower,
The holly bears the blossom
as white as earthly flower,
The holly bears the blossom as white as earthly flower,
The holly bears the blossom as white as earthly flower,
The holly bears the blossom as white as earthly flower,
The holly bears the blossom as white as earthly flower,
O'er the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
O'er the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
O'er the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
O'er the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
O'er the rising of the sun and the running of the deer.
