Jane Siberry - Wildwood Carol lyrics

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
