|
Sing o the wild wood, the green holly |
|
The silent river and barren tree |
|
The humble creatures that no man sees |
|
Sing O the wild wood |
|
A weary journey one winter's night |
|
No hope of shelter, no rest in sight |
|
Who was the creature that bore Mary? |
|
A simple donkey |
|
And when they came into Bethl'hem town |
|
They found a stable to lay them down |
|
For their companions that Christmas night |
|
An ox and an ass |
|
And then an angel came down to earth |
|
To bear the news of the Saviour's birth |
|
The first to marvel were shepherds poor |
|
And sheep with their lambs |
|
Sing O the wild wood |
