The Holly and the Ivy (God gave his Son to all) Interpreted by Nat Daniels Copyright Daniels & Durgy 2020 Gentle Rain Records The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the woods, The holly bears the crown. The rising of the sun, the hope inside us all His love is like a perfect song, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom, As white as lily flowers, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Saviour. The rising of the sun, brings hope this very hour, God’s love is like a perfect song, with Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry, As red as rosy flowers and with the birth of Jesus Christ Everlasting life is ours. The rising of the sun, the hope God gives us all The laughter of our children, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On a cold and frosty morn… with the rising of the sun, hope springs inside us all For God so loved everyone of us, that he gave His Son to all Genre Christmas Comment by JunkHeap The two of you do such a good job singing as a duo, I especially like the ending with the extra vocal layering. 2023-12-21T00:19:40Z Comment by STIrving Just magnificent! 2021-12-03T02:27:14Z Comment by mark beautiful harmonies, too 2021-11-25T18:54:26Z Comment by mark Lovely - I wish I had a glass of sherry to go with this.
