Lord, You are mighty to save. Nothing is impossible for You, if it be Your will. We beg You in the name of Your dear Son our Saviour Jesus, the Christ, who healed those whose lives were despaired of: send forth Your strength and save this little child. Yet Your will and not ours be done.
And Holly, what a beautiful name, remember the Sans Day (Saints' Day) Carol, your name is a symbol of Christ himself and his blessed mother.
Now the Holly bears a flower as white as the milkI hope you can sing that sweet carol for Cooper at Christmas time.
And Mary bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
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 Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.Now the Holly bears a berry as black as the gall
And Mary bore Jesus who died for us all.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.Now the Holly bears a berry, as blood it is red
And Mary bore Jesus who rose from the dead.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.
