The holly and the ivy,
when they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
the holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun
and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom
as white as any flower
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to be our sweet Saviour.
The holly bears a berry
as red as any blood
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to do poor sinners good.
The holly bears a prickle
as sharp as any thorn
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
on Christmas day in the morn.
The holly bears a bark
as bitter as any gall
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
for to redeem us all.
Prayers of Thanksgiving and lntercession
Carol: Deck the halls with boughs of Holly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la Ia la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, alltogether,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Benediction
