Christmas Carols - 9



Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk
And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk.

Refrain: And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the 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.


Refrain

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal
And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all.


Refrain

Now the holly bears a berry as blood is it red
Then trust we our Saviour who rose from the dead.

Refrain
