The New London Chorale - And Mary bore Jesus

Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk,
And Mary bore Jesus and wrapped Him in silk,
And Mary bore Jesus,
Our Saviour for 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,
And Mary bore Jesus,
Our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal,
And Mary bore Jesus who died for us all
And Mary bore Jesus,
Our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.
