The Holly Bears a Berry (Sans Day Carol)

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

cho: And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour to be
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.
