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
|
