Winter Carol

What child is this tonight reborn
From Winter's hold, from the Shadowland?
Whom Pagan greet with anthems sweet

As He rises in glorious splendor?
This, this is our Lord the Sun
We follow Him as the season run.

This, this is our Shining One
And the Wheel of the Year is turning.

What child is this who first takes breath,
Brings life from Winter's cold.
dark death?
What child is this who's born so bright
The morning after the longest night?

Hail, hail, the God reborn,
who dies again as the Wheel turns on.
Rejoice, rejoice in the Light, he brings,
remembering also the Darkness.

From darkness of the Mother's womb,
we witness now the Sun's rebirth,
he shadows give way to the light
reborn as we shall also be.

This, this is our Lord the Sun.
We follow Him as the seasons run.
This, this is our Shinning One
And the Wheel of The Year is turning
