What Night Is This? What night is this so long and drear When all good folk would gather near To light their pyres, the Solstice fires And tend the blaze till morning. All, all of nature sing As the days grow long, so comes the Spring. All hail the Lord, our Sun, The babe of our blessed Lady. So build the fires strong and high The wind will be His lullaby Returning king, of thee we sing Watching the Yule log burning. All, all of nature sing As the days grow long, so comes the Spring. All hail the Lord, our Sun, The babe of our blessed Lady. Come join me by the Yuletide flame To call our Lord by His holy name. By fire bright, invoke His light Keeping watch till dawning All, all of nature sing As the days grow long, so comes the Spring. All hail the Lord, our Sun, The babe of our blessed Lady.

GOD REST YOU MERRY GENTLEMEN God rest you merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember that the sun, our lord Will rise this solstice day To bring with him a brighter world Oh hear the wise one say Good tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Good tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises All you within this place And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace This holy time of Yuletide All others doth deface. Good tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Good tidings of comfort and joy We bless the Sun, our Lord on high And send Him long to reign, And many a merry Yuletide May live to see again; Among your friends and kindred Peace among all men. Good tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Good tidings of comfort and joy

Silent night. Holy night.. All is calm. All is bright. As we wait for the first morning light To reveal the dawn, snowy white. Hail the new morning sun. Hail the new morning sun. Silent night. Holy night. Sea of stars. What a sight. Planet of wonder. Peace on Earth. Fills our hearts with reverence and mirth. Hail the new morning sun. Hail the new morning sun. Silent night. Holy night. Rising sun. Feel His might. Night long vigil. True delight. Brings us out on this freezing night. Hail the new morning sun. Hail the new morning sun.

MIDNIGHT CLEAR It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old. When good folk kneeling on the earth invoked His radiant gold. Peace on the earth, good will to men, They opened their hearts to sing. The world in solemn stillness lay To greet our blessed king. O ye beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow Look now, for glad and golden hours Take heart! Our Lord will come. O rest beside the Yuletide fire And greet the morning sun. For lo! The days are hast’ning on, By Wise ones seen of old, When with the ever circling years, Shall come the time foretold. When our good Lord returns once more To send the dark away. The whole world echoing back His love Upon this Solstice day.
