The wheel turns round the dark is near
The longest night of all the year
But from the shadows comes the light
The Sun returns to end the night
Oh Yule is here the fire's aglow
The holly and ivy both will grow
The ancient gods we now do sing
Welcome back the Sun the Winter King!
The cauldron warms the cider flows
The earth lies quiet beneath the snows
But deep within the seeds still rest
Awaiting springtime's gentle quest
Oh Yule is here the fire's aglow
The holly and ivy both will grow
The ancient gods we now do sing
Welcome back the Sun the Winter King!
We dance the spiral hand in hand
We honour Earth this sacred land
The oak and the ash the pine and yew
All bear witness to what we do
So light the candle stoke the flame
The wheel will turn it stays the same
Through endless cycles life shall flow
As above so it is below
Oh Yule is here the fire's aglow
The holly and ivy both will grow
The ancient gods we now do sing
Welcome back the Sun the Winter King!
