1. The Holly and the Ivy

Now both are full well grown;
Of all the trees that spring in wood
The Holly bears the crown;
The Holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our sweet Saviour,
To be our sweet Saviour.

2. 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,
On Christmas day in the morn.

3. The Holly bears a bark

As bitter as any gall;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all.
The Holly and the Ivy
Now both are full well grown;
Of all the trees that spring in wood
The Holly bears the crown,
The Holly bears the crown.
A Virgin Most Pure
 1.

A VIRGIN most pure, as the Prophet foretold,

Should bring forth a Saviour, which now we behold.
To be our Redeemer from death, hell, and sin,
Which Adam’s transgression had wrappèd us in.
Rejoice and be merry, cast sorrow aside,
Christ Jesus, our Saviour, was born on this tide.

2.

In Bethlehem city, in Jury it was

When Joseph and Mary together did pass
All for to be taxed with many one more,
For Cæsar commanded the same should be so.
Rejoice and be merry, etc.

3.

But when they had entered the city so far,

A number of people so mighty was there
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,
Could get in the city no lodging at all.
Rejoice and be merry, etc.

4.

Then they were constrained in a stable to lie,

Where oxen and asses they used to tie;
Their lodging so simple they held it no scorn,
But against the next morning our Saviour was born.
Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside,
Christ Jesus, our Saviour, was born on this tide.

5.

The King of all Glory to the world being brought,

Small store of fine linen to wrap Him was bought;
When Mary had swaddled her young Son so sweet,
Within an ox-manger she laid Him to sleep.
Rejoice and be merry, etc.

6.

Then God sent an angel from Heaven so high

To certain poor shepherds in fields as they lie,
And bade them no longer in sorrow to stay
Because that our Saviour was born on this day.
Rejoice and be merry, etc.

7.

Then presently after, the shepherds did spy

A number of angels appear in the sky,
Who joyfully talked and sweetly did sing
“To God be all glory, our Heavenly King.”
Rejoice and be merry, etc.

8.

Three certain wise princes, they thought it most meet

To lay their rich offerings at our Saviour’s feet;
Then the shepherds consented, and to Bethlehem did go
And when they came thither, they found it was so.
Rejoice and be merry, etc.

Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand’ring,
So plainly to be seen.

Of the rosemary tree,
And so is your beer
Of the best barley.

That beg from door to door,
But we are neighbours’ children
Whom you have seen before.

As you sit by the fire
Pray think of us poor children
A-wandering in the mire.

It is made of rabbit skin,
We want a little sixpence
To line it well within.

And God send you a happy New Year!

Put on his golden ring;
Let him bring us a glass of beer
And the better we shall sing.

And spread it with a cloth;
Bring us out a mouldy cheese,
And some of your Christmas loaf.
Love and joy, etc.

Likewise the Mistress too;
And all the little children
That round the table go.
Love and joy, etc.

In honour of the King of Bliss,
Which on this day to be served is
