Gods
Rest Ye Merry Paganfolk
Tune:
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Gods
rest ye merry pagan folk
Let
none of you dismay.
Remember
that the Sun returns
Upon
this Solstice Day
The
growing dark is ended now
And
spring is on its way
Oh
tidings of comfort and Joy
Comfort
and Joy
Oh
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
Sun's warm rays caress the seeds
To
raise Life's song again
Oh
tidings of comfort and Joy
Comfort
and Joy
Oh
tidings of comfort and Joy
Within
the blessed apple lies
The
promise of the Queen
For
from this pentacle shall rise
The
orchards fresh and green
The
Earth shall blossom once again
The
air be sweet and clean
Oh
tidings of comfort and Joy
Comfort
and Joy
Oh
tidings of comfort and Joy
