Yule Songs

I have some variations of the Xmas songs you're hearing on the radio these days. Not sure where I got them from so if you know please let me know and I'll give credit.


Silent Night

Silent night, Solstice night
All is calm, all is bright,
Nature slumbers in forest and glen
Till springtime she wakens again. 
Sleeping spirits grow strong!
Sleeping spirits grow strong!

Silent night, Solstice night
Silver moon shining bright
Snowfall blankets the slumbering earth
Yule fires welcome the Sun's rebirth
Hark the light is reborn!

Silent night Solstice night
Quiet rest till the light
Turning ever the rolling wheel
Brings the spring to comfort and heal
Rest your spirit in peace!
Rest your spirit in peace!

Lady Moon Shines Softly
(O Little Town of Bethlehem)

Lady moon shines softly down
To light the earth below, 
As we, her children gather here 
Around the yule fires glow.

We wait for morning's dawning, 
First light of holy birth,
Our Lady turns the wheel of life, 
Her son returns to earth. 

With Joy we'll greet his dawning, 
A new year has begun,
With increased light is bright new hope
Reborn in every one.

We wait for morning's dawning, 
First light of holy birth,
Our Lady turns the wheel of life, 
Her Son returns to earth 


Good Rest, Ye Merry Gentle Folk

Good rest, ye merry gentle folk
Let nothing you dismay
Remember that the sun returns
Upon this Solstice day
The growing dark is ended now
And spring is on its way

Chorus
O' tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O' tidings of comfort and joy

The winter's worst still lies ahead, 
Fierce tempest, snow and rain.
Beneath the blanket on the ground
The spark of life remains.
The suns warm rays caress the seeds 
To raise life's songs again.

Chorus
O' tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O' tidings of comfort and joy

So rest ye merry gentle folk
Let nothing you dismay
Remember that the sun's reborn 
Upon this solstice day
To cheer us all with warmth and light 
And summer's golden rays. 

Chorus
O' tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O' tidings of comfort and joy



Joy To The World
Joy to the World the light is reborn
Let earth her gladness sing let every heart 
rejoice in light

(Chorus)
And earth and nature sing
And earth and nature sing
And earth, and earth and nature sing

Joy to the world the light has come
Let earth receive the Sun
Let every heart prepare for warmth

(Chorus)
And earth and nature sing
And earth and nature sing
And earth, and earth and nature sing

We light the yule fire to call the sun
The sun brings light and life
Let every voice sing out in praise

(Chorus)
And earth and nature sing
And earth and nature sing
And earth, and earth and nature sing
