Four Yule Songs
Away From the Harvest
Away from the harvest the seasons have turned
The nights have grown colder and fires we've burned
The stars in the heavens look down where we stand
Neighbors and friends with candles in hand.
The warmth is returning, the sun and the light
Will brighten our days and shorten our nights
Come gather around the Solstice is here
The old one is passing, begins the new year.

Deck the Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la la la la la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carols
Fa la la la la la la la la
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa la la la la la la la la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa la la la la la la la la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa la la la la la la la la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure
Fa la la la la la la la la
Fast away the old year passes
Fa la la la la la la la la
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses
Fa la la la la la la la la
Sing we joyous all together
Fa la la la la la la la la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa la la la la la la la la

Glory to the New
Born King
Brothers, sisters, come to sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Gardens peaceful, forests wild
Celebrate the Winter Child!
Now the time of glowing
starts!
Joyful hands and joyful hearts!
Cheer the Yule log as it burns!
For once again the Sun returns!
Brothers, sisters,
come and sing!
Glory to the new-born King!
Brothers, sisters, singing come
Glory to the newborn Sun
Through the wind and
dark of night
Celebrate the coming light.
Suns glad rays through fear's cold burns
Life through death the Wheel now turns
Gather round the
Yule log and tree
Celebrate Life's mystery
Brothers, sisters, singing come
Glory to the new-born Sun. |
What Child is This?
What child is this, who rises now
from His Mother's womb returning
Her children greet most joyously
the sight of His face's bright burning
Chorus:
This, this
is the Sun child born
The radiant one, the light returned
Born unto the world again
This child, the promise of summer
His growing
light returns the warmth
that darkness stole from out the Earth
To bud the leaves, and blossoms bring
to signal the Spring's rebirth
