The Holly Tree Lyrics

The Holly bears a berry
As white as the milk
And Mary bore Jesus
All wrapped up in silk.
And Mary bore Jesus
Our Savior to be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the Holly.

The holly bears a berry
As green as the grass
And Mary bore Jesus
Who died on the cross.

And Mary bore Jesus
Our Savior to be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly.
Now the holly bears the berry
As black as the coal
And Mary bore Jesus
Who died for us all.

And Mary bore Jesus
Our Savior to be
And the first tree in the Greenwood
It was the holly.
Now the holly bears a berry
As red as the blood
And trust in our Savior
Who rose from the dead

And Mary bore Jesus
Our Savior to be
And the first tree in the Greenwood
It was the holly.
