What Yule would be complete without songs? I have collected these from various sources..enjoy!
O HOLY NIGHT
O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the sun's rebirth
Long lay the land, in cold of winter pinning
Till he app[ears to shine warmth on the Earth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
A yonder breaks the new and glorious dawn
Sing now Joy
O sing in celebration
O night divine
O night, of holy birth
o night, divine
O night O night divine
Moon up above
We gather in your soft light
And wait for him, son of light to appear
Orb of our mother
who holds us in her keeping
Send us your child
To bring warmth to our souls
The winter is cold, the night are long in darkness
We long for the spring, the hope the now begins
Sing now with joy
O sing in celebration
O night divine
O night , of holy birth
O night, divine
O night O night divine.
YE CHILDREN OF THE EARTH
to the tune of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"
Ye children all of Mother Earth
join hands and circle around
To celebrate the Solstice night
When our lost Lord is found
Rejoice, the year has begun again
The Sun blesses skies up above
So share the season now
In everlasting Love>
LADY MOON SHINE SOFTLY
(tune : "Little Town of Bethlahem)
lady moons hines softly down
to light the Earth below
As we, her children, gather here
Around the Yule fire's glow
We wait for morning's dawning
First light of holy birth
Her Son returns to Earth
With joy we'll greet his dawning
A new year has begun
Wtih increased light is bright new hope
Reborn in everyone
SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, Solstice night
All is calm, all is bright
Nature slumbers in forest and glen
till in Springtime She wakens again
Sleeping spirits grow strong!
Sleeping spirits grow strong
Silent night, Solstice night
Silver moon shining bright
snowfall blankets the slumbering Earth
Yule fires welcome the Sun's rebirth
Hark, the Light is reborn!
GOD REST YE MERRY PAGANFOLK
(tune:"God rest ye merry gentlemen:)
God rest ye merry paganfolk
Let nothing you dismay
Remember that the Sun returns
Upon this Solstice Day
The growing dark is ending now
And Spring is on it's way
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
The Goddess rest ye merry too
And keep you safe from harm
Remember that we live within
The circle of her arms
and may her love give years to come
A very special charm
O tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy
oh tidings of comfort and joy
