The Newborn Sun of the Winter Solstice
Life eternal doth spring
The longest night
Shortest days
Deck the halls
Dawn to break clear
Through the dark and fear
Come together
Into the new light coming
Blessed be the new sun
The grove and song
Fa la la la la
Moon and star
Near and far
To the west
The east
North and south
Lord of the dance
To lead us all
In balance
Celebrate
The longest night
Shortest days
Deck the halls
Dawn to break clear
Through the dark and fear
Come together
Into the new light coming
Blessed be the new sun
The grove and song
Fa la la la la
Moon and star
Near and far
To the west
The east
North and south
Lord of the dance
To lead us all
In balance
Celebrate
