And Wake, and wake the Sleeping Earth

And Heaven and Nature sing

Masters in this hall, Open up the door
Hear her footsteps now approaching
Heed her voice we do implore
Masters in this Hall open up your eyes
Now the Lady stands before you
Children of the earth arise
Masters in this Hall, hear what we do say
The Goddess has come in and she is here to stay
The Goddess has come in and no folks should be sad
Come with us, we praise, we sing, hail the Queen, rejoice, be glad
The goddess has come in where all men make good cheer
Tidings of her joy we bring you, banish freely tides of fear
Masters in this Hall, hear what we do say
The Goddess has come in and she is here to stay

Sing we of a mystery, now as long ago
Blood red holly berries, blood upon on the snow
The Oak king shall rise, the waxing year to bring
Therefore did we farewell to the Holly king
Now in deep midwinter all seems in a trance
Comes the golden Oak King in his age old dance
Comes he to slay, yet honor he does he bring
To his fallen brother the darksome Holly King
In the bright midsummer the year's wheel turned around
Then shall be the Oak King's blood upon the ground
Ever it comes, once more the years waning
Then shall be victorious the Darksome Holly King
Sing we of the Mystery now as long ago
Blood red holly berries, blood upon on the snow
The Oak king shall rise waxing year to bring
Therefore did we farewell to the Holly king
Back to the Top
Hark the neo-Pagans sing,
Glory to the Holly King!
Peace on Earth and mercy mild,
God and Goddess reconciled,
Hear us now as we proclaim,
We have risen from the flames,
Our ancient Craft now we reclaim,
In the God and Goddess' names
Hark the neo-Pagans sing,
Glory to the Holly King!
Herne by highest love adored,
Herne the ever-reborn Lord,
At all times behold Him come,
Offspring of the Holy One,
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see,
Hail Incarnate Deity!
Our ancient Craft now we reclaim,
in the God and Goddess' names
Hark the neo-Pagans sing,
Glory to the Holly King!

Maiden of beauty, hear us as we call to thee
Come forth and take thy place as mother
Reborn the child of light must be
Queen of night, O lady of wisdom we call
Weave thy magic tonight
Here we stand and humbly wait to serve thee
Come within and fill our souls with love
As thy sphere of Stars is slowly turning
Bring us new light, the light of your Glorious sun
Ave Maria
Lady moon shines softly down
To light the Earth blow
As we, her children, gather here
Around the Yule fire's 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 Everyone.

O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the sun's rebirth
Long lay the land, in cold of winter pining
Till he appears to shine warmth on the Earth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
As yonder breaks the new and glorious dawn
Sing now with Joy
O sing in celebration
O night divine
O night, of holy birth
O night, divine
O night O night divine
Moon up above
We gather in your soft light
And wait for him, son of light to appear
Orb of our mother
Who holds us in her keeping
Send us your child
To bring warmth to our souls
The winter is cold, the nights are long in darkness
We long for the spring, the hope that now begins
Sing now with Joy
O sing in celebration
O night divine
O night, of holy birth
O night, divine
O night O night divine
Amazing peace, oh sweet repose
A gift with endless life.
The gods do grant us relief from woes
and shield us all from strife.
We, born of love from our Mothers womb
Celebrate our gifts in joy.
And open our hearts with each new boon
For love is our only toil.
To our Lord and Lady we give our oaths
In the path of the Witches Wheel.
Of pain and pleasure we know both
And dance the eternal reel.
The dance is swift and each will fall
as meat for Herne's dark hounds.
The master will lift us all,
and by death we will not be bound.
In peace we come and in peace we go
freed from death and pain.
In each new life we will show
How to live and love again.
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry tunes
As we Pagans sing with cheer
The holly bears a blossom
White as the lily flower
The Goddess shares the Solstice Sun
Days grow longer with its power
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
We celebrate with joyous hearts
The Wheel of the Year
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
The Goddess brings the Solstice Sun
To allow our hopes to bud
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
These blessed signs of life's renewal
Will banish any fear
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
The Goddess lights the Solstice Sun
As we welcome the new morn
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The Green Man and the Holly King
Are always welcome here
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
The Goddess gives the Solstice Sun
For the wonder of us all
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
In perfect love and perfect trust
May our hearts be ever clear
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry tunes
As we Pagans sing with cheer
