Hark the Nature Spirits Sing
Hark! The Nature Spirits sing
Goddess lives in everything.
Peaceful Hearts, and bodies wild
God and Mother reconciled.
Joyful all ye creatures rise
From the deeps, the earth, the skies,
Rocks and plants and beasts the same
All sprung from Her living flame.
Hark! The Nature Spirits sing
Goddess lives in everything.

God Bless You Merry Gentlefolk
God bless you merry gentlefolk
Let nothing you dismay
Remember that our Lord the Sun
Is born on Solstice day
To save us all from Winter’s power
When hope has gone away.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
The Mother labors through the night
To give us back the sun
Who brings his light from out the dark
To shine on every one.
The Yule log burns,
The Year Wheel turns,
Let’s have some winter fun.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!
Joy to the World
Joy to the world! The Sun is born!
Let Earth receive Her King!
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing.
Welcome our King, who brings us life
Our Lady gives him birth.
His living light returns tonight
And wakes the sleeping earth
And wakes the sleeping earth
And wakes, and wakes the sleeping earth.
Dark ruled the Earth, and death has reigned
But now, the wheel does spin.
From out the womb of night
Is born the infant Light
The Sun has come again
The Sun has come again
The Sun, the Sun has come again.
