Text: Anie Burke-Webb; Melodie: „Greensleeves“ 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. Chorus

Text von Ellen Reed; Melodie: „Gloria in excelsis deo“ Snow lies deep upon the Earth Still our voices warmly sing Heralding the glorious birth Of the Child, the Winter King. Chorus:Glo — ria! In excelsis Deo! Glo — ria! In excelsis Dea! Our triumphant voices claim Joy and hope and love renewed And our Lady’s glad refrain Answer Winter’s solitude.

Text: Ellen Reed (1st verse); Melodie: „Hark the Herald Angels sing“ von Felix Mendelssohn 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!

Text von Coeis and Lady Morrigant; „Hark the Neo Pagans sing“ von Sunblade; Melodie: „Hark the Herald Angels sing“ von Felix Mendelssohn Hark the New Age Pagans sing, Glory to the Holly King! Peace on Earth and mercy mild, God and Goddess reconciled, Hear us now as we proclaim, We have risen from the flames, Our ancient Craft now we reclaim, In the God and Goddess‘ names Hark the neo-Pagans sing, Glory to the Holly King! Herne by highest love adored, Herne the ever-reborn Lord, At all times behold Him come, Offspring of the Holy One, Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see, Hail Incarnate Deity! Our ancient Craft now we reclaim, in the God and Goddess‘ names Hark the neo-Pagans sing, Glory to the Holly King!
