Yuletide Carols, 1996
Lady
Moon
(To
Little Town of Bethlehem)
Lady
Moon shines softly down
To
light the earth below
As
we her children gather here
Around
the Yule fire’s glow
We
wait for mornings dawning
First
light of holy birth
Our
Lady turns the wheel of life
Her
sun returns to Earth
With
joy we’ll greet his dawning
A
new year has begun
With
increased light is bright new hope
Reborn
is everyone.
Wiccan
Wonderland
(To
Winter Wonderland)
Pagans
sing, are you listenin’
Altar’s
set, candles glisten
It’s
a Magickal night, we’re having tonight
Dancing
in a Wiccan Wonderland
Blades
held high, censer smoking
God
and Goddess, we’re invoking
Through
Elements Five, we celebrate life
Dancing
in a Wiccan Wonderland
(Chorus)
In
a circle we can light a Yule fire
And
await the rising of the Sun
It’s
the Great Wheel turning for the new year
Loaded
with abundance and great fun
Queen
of Heaven, is in her place
Triple
goddess, now the Crone face
Above
and below, She’s the Goddess we know
Dancing
in a Wiccan Wonderland
Now
the God, is the provider
Supplying
game for our fire
Above
and below, He’s the Horned One we know
Dancing
in a Wiccan Wonderland
(Chorus)
Later
on, by the fire
Cone
of power, gettin’ higher
It’s
a Magickal night, we’re having tonight
Dancing
in a Wiccan Wonderland
Joy
to the World
(To...guess
what?)
Joy
to the world! the Lord has come
Let
earth receive her King.
Let
every heart prepare him room
And
Heav’n and Nature sing
And
Heav’n and Nature sing
And
Heav’n, and Heav’n and Nature sing.
Joy
to the world! The Sun returns
Our
Lady gives Him birth
The
living light will warm our hearts
And
wake the sleeping Earth
And
wake the sleeping Earth
And
wake, and wake the sleeping Earth.
Light
we the fires to greet our Lord
Our
light, our life, our Lord
Let
every voice sing praise
And
Heav’n and Nature sing
And
Heav’n and Nature sing
And
Heav’n, and Heav’n and Nature sing.
Silent
Night
(To...you
guessed it!)
Silent
Night, Solstice Night
Quiet
rest, dim the light
Turning
ever the rolling wheel
Bring
the winter to comfort and heal
Rest
your spirit in peace,
Rest
your spirit in peace.
Silent
Night, Solstice Night
All
is calm, all is right
Nature
slumbers in forest and glen
Filling
streams 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 return
Hark
the light is reborn,
Hark
the light is reborn.
Gods
rest ye, merry Pagan folk
Gods
rest ye, merry Pagan folk, let nothing you dismay.
Remember
that the Sun returns upon this Solstice Day!
The
growing dark is ended now and Spring is on its way -
O,
tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
O,
tidings of comfort and joy.
The
Winter's worst still lies ahead, fierce tempest, snow and rain.
Beneath
the blanket on the ground, the spark of Life remains!
The
Sun's warm rays caress the seeds to raise life's songs again -
O,
tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
O,
tidings of comfort and joy.
Within
the blessed apple lies the Promise of the Queen,
For
from the pentacle shall rise the orchards fresh and green!
The
Earth shall blossom once again, the air is sweet and clean -
O,
tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
O,
tidings of comfort and joy.
Gods
rest ye, merry Pagan folk, let nothing you dismay.
Remember
that the Sun returns upon this Solstice Day!
The
growing dark is ended now, and Spring is on its way -
O,
tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
O,
tidings of comfort and joy
