Goddess Bless Ye Merry Witches
(Sung to the tune of God Bless Ye Merry Gentleman)
Re-crafted by Rowan Morgana
Goddess Bless ye merry witches, let nothing you dismay,
Remember that the Sun God is born on Solstice Day
To Turn the Wheel towards the Sun with warming solar rays
Refrain
O tidings of summer and joy, summer and joy;
O tidings of summer and joy.
In the Eastern Quarter, the Child of Light is born,
A tiny flame of sunlight grows stronger every morn;
The Goddess of the Moon and Stars throws back her cloak well worn
Refrain
“Fear not, then,” said the Goddess “Let nothing you afright
This day is born a Sun of a pure and golden light,
To turn the Wheel of time away from Winter’s power and might.”
Refrain
Sing praises to the Sun God all you within this place,
With perfect love and perfect trust each other now embrace;
This Blessed Yuletide miracle of Divine Grace.
Refrain
Goddess Bless the Child of Light, may he proudly reign,
Until at Summer Solstice his light begins to wane
Among your friends and kindred that live both far and near--
